Extron is shipping its new MLC 55 RS and MLC 55 RS VC MediaLink controllers with functions such as power, input selection, and volume in single-display applications. They feature a new look, with redesigned back-lit buttons and magnetically-attached face plates that hide the mounting screws and configuration ports, giving the controllers a refined, uncluttered appearance. Both models include unidirectional RS232 and IR display control, as well as discrete ON and OFF display power controls. The MLC 55 RS VC model features a newly-designed, larger volume knob for smooth, precise volume control of Extron MPA Series and select XTRA Series amplifiers. Flexible mounting options allow the controllers to be installed virtually anywhere, including walls, lecterns or tables.

Extron’s easy-to-use MLC 55,62,64 Series configuration software provides fast and simple setup via USB when combined with one of many ready-to-use RS232 or IR device drivers available on the Extron website. The configuration program and these two controllers also support IR Learning for creating new IR drivers from the handheld remote of a source or display device.
