The Extron HD CTL 100 is a low-cost, easy-to-use workspace automation controller designed for automated display control in small meeting rooms and huddle spaces. When an active signal is connected to the HDMI input, the HD CTL 100 automatically turns on the display and selects the correct input via CEC control. For further flexibility, the unit easily integrates with the Extron OCS 100 Occupancy Sensor to automatically power the display on when users enter the room and off when no motion is detected. The HD CTL 100 also enables a one-touch meeting experience in rooms equipped with Extron collaboration partner solutions, such as those offered by Microsoft, Poly, Zoom, and others. The compact enclosure makes the HD CTL 100 ideal for placement wherever needed.

Effortless Collaboration

The HD CTL 100 is easy-to-use and fully operational out of the box when using CEC. Automated power control allows users to collaborate with minimal interaction with the AV hardware. No buttons or remotes are needed. The system powers the display on when a presenter connects a source device, and automatically switches to the source input of the display. When no signal is detected, the system will power down after a predetermined time period.

Easy to Configure

No programming knowledge is necessary to configure the HD CTL 100 Workspace Controller. When used with the supplied Windows®-based configuration software, installation files can be saved and used to duplicate additional HD CTL 100 controllers. In addition, the HD CTL 100 contains an easily accessible mini USB port located on the front panel.
