About the MLC 52 Series
The Extron MediaLink ™ Controller 52 (MLC 52) provides infrared (IR) and/or
RS-232 remote control of a projector or other display device. It is an economical,
compact (one-gang size), easy-to-use controller designed for use with audiovisual
equipment in sites such as an elementary or high school classroom, or a small
conference room. The MLC 52 is available in four models: MLC 52 IR and
MLC 52 IR VC, which control display devices by IR only, and MLC 52 RS and
MLC 52 RS VC, which control displays by either IR or RS-232.
The MLC 52 acts as a universal projector remote control panel to provide control of
a projector’s power, input selection, and volume.
The MLC 52 can be configured using three different methods:
• IR Learning
• IR data transfer (“beaming”)
• Using projector control drivers with the Windows ® -based configuration
software
