Connecting an IRL 20 to a MediaLink switcher or
controller, an AVT 100, or another Extron product
controller, an AVT 100, or another Extron product
The IRL 20 can be connected directly to a MediaLink switcher,
System 5 IP switcher, or AVT tuner. Also, it can either be
connected directly to an MLC or be part of a daisy chain of
MediaLink Control Modules connected to an MLC.

If it hasn’t already been done, cut a length (150'/45 m or
less) of Extron Comm-Link cable to go between the
MediaLink Controller (MLC), MediaLink Switcher,
System 5 IP Switcher, or AVT 100 and the IRL 20. See
appendix A for cable part numbers.

For switchers or an AVT
, attach a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive
screw connector to each end of the cable. Only three wires
(pins C, , and + on the switcher/AVT end) are required.

the cable identically (ground to ground, signal to signal,
and so forth).

Typical applications for the IRL 20
Connecting an IRL 20 to a power supply and an
IR Emitter

An external, stand-alone power supply is only necessary if the
IRL 20 is not connected to an Extron device that is able to
supply power to it.

Attach an external 12 VDC power supply the +12 VDC pin
and the ground pin of a 3.5 mm captive screw connector,
and plug it into one of the IRL 20’s communications
connectors as shown on the next page.
