The Extron IPCP Pro 250 is a versatile, high-performance control processor designed for centralized AV control in small to medium-size applications. As part of the new IP Link® Pro Series, the IPCP Pro 250 is engineered to be faster and more secure in almost every way. It features advanced security standards and Gigabit Ethernet, which ensures compatibility with multiple TouchLink® Pro touchpanels using today’s network infrastructure. It also supports Extron LinkLicense™ which enables the use of third party devices as primary control interfaces. The IPCP Pro 250 is an ideal choice for controlling multiple devices and signal types within an AV system..
• Supports TouchLink® Pro touchpanels
• Supports secure industry standard communications protocols — All IP Link Pro models use industry standard communication protocols, including HTTP (insecure), HTTPS, SSH, SFTP, SMTP, NTP, Discovery Service, DHCP, DNS, ICMP, and IPv4.
• Supports LinkLicense — Enables the use of third party devices as primary control interfaces.
• One bidirectional RS-232 serial port with software handshaking — Captive screw serial ports that can control one RS-232 devices.
• One bidirectional RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial port with hardware and software handshaking — Captive screw serial port that can communicate with one RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serially controlled device.
• One IR/Serial port for one-way control of external devices
• Four Digital I/O ports — Allows for interfacing with other systems in the room.
• Two relays for controlling room functions — Enables control of lighting, screen settings, and other device functions.
• Supports 10/100/1000Base-T
• Supports popular BMS – Building Management System protocols, such as BACnet, KNX, and DALI — These protocols allow for centralized monitoring and control of mechanical and electrical systems that include HVAC, lighting, power, fire, and security.
• Ethernet monitoring and control — Manage, monitor, and control AV devices using a standard Ethernet network.
• Remote volume control port for the Extron MPA Series and select XTRA™ Series amplifiers
•Supports Ethernet-controllable devices — Allows for control of multiple Ethernet-enabled AV devices such as displays, switchers, and sources.
• Integrated IR Learning capability — Captures IR remote codes from a device’s handheld remote control.
• Automatic clock synchronization allows touchpanel to display the accurate time and date
• Supports control system synchronization — Synchronization will allow users to retain and recover the state of their configured endpoints in case of network or power failure.
• Front panel port status indicators
• Multi-level password protection — Allows security to be set based on user roles.
• Fully customizable using Extron control system software — GUI Designer combined with Global Configurator Plus or Global Configurator Professional.
• Library of enhanced Extron Certified device drivers — Device drivers allow Extron products to control various display and source devices, such as projectors, flat-panel displays, and Blu-ray players. Extron has produced fully tested Ethernet, serial, and IR device drivers.
• 1U, quarter rack width metal enclosure
• Highly reliable, energy-efficient external universal power supply included
