| The Extron IPCP Pro 550 is a
versatile, high-performance control processor designed for
centralized AV control in larger applications. As part of the new
IP Link® Pro Series, the IPCP Pro 550 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™ that enables the use of third party devices as
primary control interfaces. The IPCP Pro 550 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.
• Six bidirectional RS-232 serial ports with software
handshaking — Captive screw serial ports that can control six
RS-232 devices.
• Two bidirectional RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial ports with
hardware and software handshaking — Captive screw serial
ports that can communicate with two RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serially
controlled devices.
• Eight IR/Serial ports for one-way control of external
devices
• Four Flex I/O ports — Allows for interfacing with
other systems in the room.
• Eight relays for controlling room functions — Enables
control of lighting, screen settings, and other device
functions.
• Four independently switched 12 VDC outputs — Provides
power to low voltage devices to eliminate the need for local power
supplies.
• Ethernet monitoring and control — Manage, monitor,
and control AV devices using a standard Ethernet network.
• 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.
• Supports 10/100/1000Base-T
• 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, half rack width metal enclosure
• Highly reliable, energy-efficient internal universal power
