About This Guide
This guide provides detailed information and best practice recommendations about cabling
and configuring the Extron MLC 60 Series MediaLink Controllers. It provides reference
information about specifications, dimensions, and programming of the controllers.
Throughout this guide the general terms “MLC” and “controller” are used interchangeably
to refer to any MLC 60 Series controller. “MLC D models” applies to the MLC 62 RS D,
MLC 62 IR D, and the MLC 64 RS VC D. “MLC 62” applies to all MLC 60 Series models
except the MLC 64.
About the MLC 60 Series MediaLink Controllers
The Extron MLC 60 Series MediaLink Controllers are panels that control a wide range of
audio/video systems in any classroom, meeting facility, or auditorium via RS-232 or IR. They
act as extended remote control panels, featuring eight (optionally six) labeled backlit buttons
for the MLC 62 models or six for the MLC 64 RS VC D. These buttons can be configured via
the MLC Windows
®
-based configuration software to control power, input switching, and
volume on a display device or switcher. If desired, you can replace these buttons with ones
having different labels, which also are provided with the controller.
The MLC 64 RS VC D model has, in addition to the configurable buttons, a volume control
module containing an analog volume control knob and a Mute button. An Extron amplifier
can be connected to this module for volume control via the MLC.
All models can control a projector, display, or switcher via IR. In addition, the MLC 62 RS
models can control display devices, switchers, and various other items such as lights, a
projector lift, or a motorized screen via RS-232, IR, relays, or digital input.
The MLC controllers are housed in secure, compact, one-gang and two-gang sized
enclosures, which can be mounted on a wall or furniture, with or without an electrical
junction box or mounting bracket.
