MLC 62 RS MK	IR and RS-232 Control - MK	60-1005-23

The MLC 62 RS MK is an easy-to-use keypad controller for use in classrooms and meeting facilities that is designed for mounting into a one-gang MK box or enclosure for the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong and other markets that use MK-type junction boxes. It offers eight backlit soft touch buttons for a contemporary look and feel. The MLC 62 RS MK provides control capabilities for common AV functions including power, input switching, and volume control. The MLC 62 RS MK provides RS-232 and IR ports for universal display control. In addition, a digital input and two relays are included for monitoring and controlling other systems in the room.

Consistent Control in Every Room

The MLC 62 RS MK acts as an extended remote control panel, providing user-friendly control for a display's power, volume, and input selection. Because the MLC 62 RS MK offers a central point of control for a display device's key functions, it eliminates the need for the display's IR remote control, making operations much more efficient. With the MLC 62 RS MK, there are no misplaced remotes to search for, no confusing menus to navigate, and no dead batteries. No matter what brand of display is installed in each presentation venue, the MLC 62 RS MK MediaLink Controller provides a consistent control method from room to room. Presenters with little or no training can walk into any MediaLink equipped classroom and operate the AV system with minimal effort.

Two relays and a digital input provide advanced control of the AV system. The relays enable the control of lighting, screen settings, and other device functions, while a digital input provides monitoring control for a variety of devices such as sensors and switches.

Customizable Backlit Buttons

The controller incorporates eight soft touch, tactile buttons, including power on, power off, volume up, volume down, and source selections. Using the intuitive setup software provided, these buttons can be configured to send out any IR or RS-232 command supported by the display, making it easy to customize the controller to meet the needs of most single-display AV systems. Macro mode provides additional flexibility by allowing all of the stored commands associated with one button to be executed with a single button press. Toggle mode provides additional flexibility by allowing two different sets of commands to be executed with alternating presses of a button.

The source buttons offer a choice between a single or dual function setup by simply swapping out the bezel and buttons. The MLC 62 RS MK ships with both six-button and eight-button bezels. The eight-button bezel is ideal for applications that require up to four inputs or functions, while the six-button bezel is best for supporting two inputs or functions on larger buttons.

MLC 62 RS MK buttons are available in pre-packaged kits, or may be ordered individually. Ordering individual buttons is easy. The Extron Custom Button Builder is our online tool that enables convenient and simple customization of soft-touch, backlit buttons for a variety of Extron control products.

Easy to Configure

No programming knowledge is necessary to configure MLC 62 RS MK MediaLink Controllers. When used with the supplied Windows®-based configuration software, installation files can be saved and used to duplicate additional MLC 62 models. The files can also be archived for later use.

Easy-to-use MLC 62 Series Configuration Program - Provides fast and simple setup via RS-232 or USB when combined with one of many ready-to-use IR or RS-232 device drivers available on the Extron Web site. The configuration program and MLC 62 RS MK also support IR Learning for creating new IR drivers from the handheld remote of a source or display device.

Customizable backlit buttons — Standard buttons available for power on, power off, volume up, volume down, and source selection. A variety of pre-labeled buttons are included, allowing the controller to be easily customized to suit the application. Backlit buttons provide ease of use in low-light environments.

Unidirectional RS-232 and configurable IR ports for universal display control — The MLC 62 RS MK has a dedicated port for communicating with virtually any projector or flat panel display via unidirectional RS-232 or IR control. Display control drivers can be downloaded from the Extron Web site and used to configure the controller.

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

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

Easy-to-use configuration software provides fast and easy setup

Thousands of Extron certified, ready-to-use device drivers

IR learning capability — The MLC 60 Series Configuration Program is able to capture IR codes from a device’s handheld remote control.

Volume adjustment buttons with LED level indication — Individual up and down buttons for audio level control with five LEDs that indicate current audio settings.

Pre-printed buttons included for controller customization — Buttons printed with various labels are supplied and can be changed individually to match the control application.

Macro capability — Any button can be configured to execute multiple actions through the serial and IR control ports. For instance, the touch of a single button could trigger commands to turn on the display, select the display's RGB input, and trigger a relay.

Toggle mode — Provides additional flexibility by allowing two different sets of commands to be executed with alternating presses of a button.

Source buttons offer a choice between a single or dual function setup by simply swapping out the bezel and buttons — In applications where only a single function is necessary for one source device, a dual function bezel and button can be replaced with a single function bezel and button.

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

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

Front panel security lockout — If the MLC 62 MK is installed in an unsecured environment where easy access is not desirable, a security lockout feature may be implemented to lock out all front panel controls.

Activity LED to indicate various controller states — Bi-color, green and red LED indicates button presses, the transfer of data, front panel lockout, and other actions.

Mini USB configuration port — Provides configuration interface through a laptop or PC.

Pluggable captive screw connector — Provides quick and easy connection to the controller for easy installation and troubleshooting.

Includes six and eight button bezels, adapter plate, and matching cover frame
