The Extron IPL T PC1i AC Power and Device Controller features a single AC power outlet, bidirectional RS-232, IR output, and a contact closure input. When paired with an IP Link control processor, this power controller can be used with a TouchLink touchpanel. The IPL T PC1i integrates Ethernet technology into systems, enabling flexible, centralized, Web-based power and device management.
The IPL T PC1i supplies up to 10A of 220VAC power, using an IEC outlet. It can be used to cycle power to a "frozen" AV device or be configured to turn the device ON or OFF at scheduled times for security and energy savings. For real time notification, the controller can be programmed to send out an e-mail when each event is performed.
Web-based AV device management is further enhanced by the RS-232 and IR ports which can be used to remotely control the operation of a DVD player, VCR, or display.
The contact closure input port can detect a switch closure. A monitor can be set that triggers an action, such as sounding an alarm when a door is opened or when a motion detector detects movement.
The IPL T PC1i controller can be configured using Extron's easy-to-use free configuration software, Global Configurator, and works well alongside other IP Link products for remote AV system management and control using the free GlobalViewer Web application.
The integration of AC power control with device control in a single enclosure, makes the IPL T PC1i ideal for a wide variety of remote networked applications.
