Extron Electronics has announced the immediate availability of the IPCP Pro 555, IPCP Pro 355 DR and the IPCP Pro 255, as well as several other new IP Link Pro control processors.

These high-performance, versatile control processors feature advanced security standards and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ensure compatibility with multiple TouchLink Pro touch panels using a standard network infrastructure.

“Extron recognises that network security is a growing concern for our customers. While all of our Pro Series control processors use advanced security protocols to safeguard your data, these new IPCP Pro control processors offer the added benefit of a dedicated AV LAN port that further protects the AV network from intrusion and interference,” says Extron vice president of sales and marketing Casey Hall.

Of the two Ethernet ports, the AV LAN is designated to control local AV devices and is secure from outside interference or intrusion. These can be used with Extron LinkLicense, which further enhances the capabilities of Extron Pro Series control systems.

The IPCP Pro 555, IPCP Pro 355 DR and the IPCP Pro 255 can be configured using Global Configurator Plus or Global Configurator Professional software or programmed using Extron Global Scripter. For enterprise-wide applications, GlobalViewer Enterprise can provide centralised AV resource monitoring, management and control over a computer network.

These powerful control processors are an ideal choice for controlling multiple devices and signal types within AV systems requiring an isolated AV network.
