Extron Electronics has announced the introduction of the TLS 1025M 10″, stand-alone TouchLink Scheduling panel for Extron Room Scheduling systems.

Connecting directly to a variety of popular calendar services, the TLS 1025M requires no additional scheduling software and no external processors. It features a 1280×800 capacitive edge-to-edge Gorilla Glass touch screen that is scratch and smudge-resistant and the convenience of Power over Ethernet (PoE).  This allows the TLS 1025M to receive power and communication over a single Ethernet cable.

Additionally, two red and green LEDs make it easy to see if a room is occupied or available even from down the hall.

“The new TLS 1025M has a brilliant, high resolution edge-to-edge touch screen and is the largest of our TouchLink Scheduling panels. The room analytics functions give customers vital, at-a-glance data to help them schedule rooms and view meeting trends across their organisation,” says Extron Electronics vice president of worldwide sales and marketing Casey Hall.

Users can download a Scheduling Activity file, with room usage and meeting data from each touch panel, to analyse room usage, activity patterns and occupancy trends across the organisation.

All TLS panels are configured with Extron Room Agent software, users simply connect the touch panel to their computer, open the free Room Agent Software and fill in the required fields to compose the user interface. There are customisation options available, including custom colours and background images and interface text fields to be shown or hidden, depending on user preference.
