Extron has announced its EBP 108 RAAP rack mount eBUS button panel is now available to be shipped. The EBP 108 RAAP is a fully-customisable AV system control interface designed for use with Extron eBUS-enabled control systems.

The control panel connects to an IPCP Pro control processor to perform a wide variety of AV system functions such as power on/off, input switching, volume control and more. The EBP 108 RAAP features eight dual-coloured backlit buttons for easy operation in low-light environments and a volume control knob for precise volume adjustments. Four eBUS ports are available for easy system expansion.

eBUS button panels are linked to a control processor and to each other using a single cable that carries both power and communication. The EBP 108 RAAP has openings for up to four single-space or two double-space architectural adapter plates (AAPs).

Extron worldwide sales and marketing vice president Casey Hall says the eBUS family is versatile and has grown to more than three dozen button panels.

“This latest panel, the EBP 108 RAAP, is ideal for any application where convenient, rack-mounted control is needed,” he says.

Extron’s eBUS technology is based on a digital bus architecture that allows for easy control system expansion, greater design options and future upgrades. As with its TouchLink Pro touch panels, eBUS button panels are designed for use with any Extron IPCP Pro Series control processor. A single eBUS button panel can be used as the AV control interface for a smaller system or multiple button panels and touch panels may be combined when a more elaborate control system is required.
