MLC Plus 84 D	White - Decorator-Style Wallplate	60-1194-03

The MLC Plus 84 D is an easy-to-use, two-gang Ethernet controller used for controlling common AV functions such as power, input switching, and volume. As part of the new MediaLink Plus Series, the MLC Plus 84 D is designed with more powerful features and enhanced security. It has eleven backlit soft touch buttons and a variety of ports and inputs, including a remote volume control port for use with select Extron amplifiers. It is Extron’s first pushbutton controller to support Ethernet control of a wide range of AV devices. Power over Ethernet allows the controller to receive power and communication over a single Ethernet cable. The MLC Plus 84 D mounts in a two-gang junction box, and includes a white decorator-style wallplate.

The MLC Plus 84 D is configured using Extron Global Configurator Plus or Global Configurator Professional software. It also integrates seamlessly with Extron’s award-winning GlobalViewer® Enterprise software for complete AV resource monitoring, management, and control over a computer network. The MediaLink Plus family of controllers supports popular Web browsers and the Extron Control App.

Features

Manage, monitor, and control AV devices using a standard Ethernet network

Fully configurable using Global Configurator Plus or Global Configurator Professional

Two relays for controlling room functions — Enables control of lighting, screen settings, and other device functions.

One IR port for connecting up to two emitters — For one-way control of external devices.

Remote volume control port for Extron MPA Series and select XTRA™ Series amplifiers

Volume control buttons with LEDs for visual feedback — Control the volume of a device with RS-232, Ethernet, or IR; or remotely control the volume of Extron MPA and select XTRA™ Series amplifiers via the remote volume control port.

One digital input — Allows for a connection with a variety of devices, such as sensors, switches, and relays.

Customizable backlit buttons — Buttons can be configured for input source switching, video mute, auto image, and other system functions.

Power over Ethernet allows the controller to receive power and communication over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a local power supply

Supports Ethernet-controllable devices
Up to 4 devices with GC Plus
Up to 8 devices with GC Pro

Built-in speaker — Provides audible feedback when buttons are pressed to confirm user action.

Pluggable captive screw connectors — Provide quick and easy connection to the controller for easy installation and troubleshooting.

Inactivity timer for display shutoff — Adjustable timer controls automatic shutdown to conserve energy, prevent plasma burn-in, or extend projector's lamp life.

Mounts in a decorator-style wallplate — Includes a white decorator-style faceplate.

Extensive library of enhanced Extron Certified device drivers — Device drivers allow Extron products to control various display and source devices, such as projectors, flat-panel displays, and DVD players. Extron has produced fully tested Ethernet, serial, and IR device drivers.
