The Extron IPCP Pro 355DR is a versatile, high-performance DIN rail mountable control processor with a secure, dedicated AV LAN port. It features advanced security standards and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, which ensure compatibility with multiple TouchLink® Pro touchpanels using a standard network infrastructure. Of the two Ethernet ports, the AV LAN is designated to control local AV devices, and is secure from outside interference or intrusion. The IPCP Pro 355DR can be used with Extron LinkLicense®, which enhances the capabilities of Extron Pro Series control systems. The IPCP Pro 355DR is ideal for controlling multiple devices and signal types within AV systems requiring an isolated AV network while providing DIN rail mounting flexibility common in automation applications or legacy structures where component space is a concern.
The Extron IPCP Pro 355DR can be configured using Global Configurator Plus or Global Configurator Professional software or programmed using Extron ControlScript programming. For enterprise-wide applications, GlobalViewer® Enterprise can provide centralized AV resource monitoring, management, and control over a computer network.
