Introduction

MLC 62 D

The MLC 62 RS D and the MLC 62 IR D Basic MediaLink®
Controllers are easy-to-use keypad controllers for classrooms
and meeting facilities. Both models mount in a Decora-style
wallplate and offer backlit soft touch buttons for a contemporary
look and feel. Each provides control capabilities for common A/V
functions including power, input switching, and volume control.

Consistent Control in Every Room

The MLC 62 D controllers act as extended remote control panels
providing user-friendly control for a display’s power, volume, and
input selection. Because the controllers offer a central point of
control for a display device’s key functions, they eliminate the
need for the handheld IR remote control. This way, 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 D MediaLink Controller
always provides a consistent control method. Presenters with little
or no training can walk into any MediaLink equipped classroom
and operate the A/V system with minimal effort.

Universal Display Control

Both models of the MLC 62 D offer an IR port for universal display
control. The MLC 62 RS D also includes unidirectional RS-232
for display control and two relays, as well as a digital sensor
input port.

from unauthorized access. Lockout mode is engaged by holding

down specifi c buttons simultaneously for three seconds. The same

procedure is repeated to disable lockout mode.

Customizable Backlit Buttons

The controllers have backlit, soft touch buttons that are fully
configurable. Standard buttons consist of power on, power off,
volume up, volume down, and source selections. Depending
on the model, these buttons can be configured to send out IR
or RS-232 commands to the display using the intuitive setup
software provided. This makes it easy to configure the controller
to meet the needs of most single-display A/V systems. The soft
touch buttons can be customized to suit the application with a
variety of included pre-labeled buttons.

Front Panel Security Lockout

The MLC 62 D controllers feature Front Panel Security Lockout.

When the lockout mode is engaged, the front panel of the MediaLink

Controller becomes inoperable. This feature safeguards the system

The source buttons offer a choice between a single or dual
function setup using one of the optional bezel kits. If additional
source devices are necessary, a single function button can be
replaced with a dual function button. For example, if source
selection is necessary to switch between a PC and video player,
a single function button can be replaced with a dual function
button to accommodate the two sources. In applications where
only a single function is necessary for one source device, a dual
function button can be replaced with a single function button.

Confi gurable IR/S Port

The IR/S port of the MLC 62 RS D provides expanded control
capability. This port supports either IR or RS-232, allowing control
of a secondary device. When combined with its standard RS-232
port, the MLC 62 RS D is able to control not only the display, but
a switcher or source device as well.
