introduction
Inactivity Timer
MLC 62 D controllers are equipped with an adjustable timer that
automatically shuts down the projector or flat panel display after
inactivity, to conserve energy and extend projector lamp life.
Macro Capability and Toggle Mode
IR Learning
USB Port
With the MLC 62 D’s macro capability, any button can be
configured to execute multiple actions. For instance, the touch
of a single button could trigger commands to turn on the display,
select the display’s computer input, and trigger a relay for screen
control. Toggle mode provides additional flexibility by allowing
two different sets of commands to be executed with alternating
presses of a button.
Easy configuration without having to remove
installed controller
Free Extron Certified Projector Drivers
Extron creates and administers a large library of certified, ready-
to-use device drivers. Drivers designated as "Extron Certified"
were written by Extron and have been reviewed and tested with
third party devices. These IR and RS-232 drivers allow MLC 62 D
controllers to communicate with a display device, enabling control
of basic projector functions such as power, input selection, and
to download drivers for the latest and most popular displays.
Easy to Configure
The MLC 62 D controllers offer easy setup using configuration
software or IR learning. Easy-to-use Extron configuration software
provides fast and simple setup via USB, and includes support for
the extensive library of Extron certified, ready-to-use IR and RS-232
device drivers. The USB port is conveniently located behind the
removable Decora wallplate for easy configuration access without
having to remove the installed controller. Configurations may be
saved, then restored to other controllers for replicating common
room configurations. IR learning allows the controller to be set up
directly from the display's IR remote without the need for software
and a PC.
Room Control
The MLC 62 RS D has two relays, which allow it to control room
functions, such as raising or lowering a projector screen, and
turning lighting on or off. In addition, a digital input allows the
MLC 62 RS D to monitor a switch or sensor.

MLC 62 RS D
The MLC 62 RS D is ideal for rooms where
additional control is necessary. It offers a
dedicated unidirectional RS-232 port and a
configurable port that supports either IR or
RS-232. These ports allow up to two devices
to be controlled, such as a display and a
switcher, or a source device. Two relays allow
the MLC 62 RS D to control screen functions
or lighting. A digital input allows monitoring of
a switch or sensor.

MLc 62 d configuration Software
MLC 62 D products are simple and easy to configure…
no programming knowledge is required
Extron’s free MLC 62 configuration
software puts all of the most commonly
used system control options at your
fingertips. One of the costliest aspects
of building an A/V control system, in
terms of human resources and time, is
programming. A/V system programming
can be a complex task that requires the
skills of an experienced programmer.
Extron’s configuration approach offers
tremendous benefits over traditional
system programming methods. Configuring
MLC 62 D controllers is as simple as
selecting choices from intuitive, drop-down
menus instead of writing, compiling, and
debugging complicated computer source
code. Should system changes need to be
made in the future, such as a new display
device, need to be made in the future, an
System Changes Take Less Time
Configuration means that initial system setup time
is reduced, and there’s no need to delay making
changes because you are waiting for a hard-to-find
programming resource.
Nearly Anyone Can Configure A System
Non-programmers can use our free MLC 62
configuration software to build a complete A/V
control system, freeing up programmers for other
projects.

Custom Serial RS-232 Control
Extron creates and administers thousands of certified,
ready-to-use projector control drivers. These IR and
serial RS-232 drivers allow MediaLink Controllers to
communicate with any display device. They enable
control of basic projector functions such as power,
input selection, and volume adjustment. Go to the
drivers for the latest and most popular displays.
Serial RS-232 is the preferred method
of control; however, many ultra portable
projectors and flat panel displays can only
support IR control. The MLC 62 IR D and the
MLC 62 RS D can learn IR commands from
virtually any handheld IR remote control
In environments where customizable projector
control is needed, integrators can easily enter in
their own RS-232 commands on the MLC 62 RS D.
RS-232 commands can be assigned to any button
using the provided configuration software. The
MediaLink Controllers will work with virtually any
projector.
