Operation
MediaLink switcher can be set up and operated by using:
• The front panel controls.
• A computer, a touch screen panel, or any other device that can send and receive
the serial communications through the RS-232 port. Extron’s Simple
Instruction Set™ (SIS™) is a set of simple keystroke commands that can be
used with any such devices, and Extron’s control software for Windows
provides a graphical interface for controlling the switcher from a computer.
This gives you full control of switching, volume adjustment, and all setup
steps.
• A contact closure device (for input selection only).
• An Extron MediaLink Controller (MLC 206) (for input selection, volume adjustment).
• An infrared remote control, such as the MLA-Remote, in conjunction with the
IR Link infrared repeater (for input selection and volume adjustment).
Some settings can be adjusted only through a host computer. For details on serial
communications control via the RS-232 port, see chapter four, “Serial Communication”.
