The Extron MLC 104 IP Plus MediaLink Controller can control 

a projector and various other items such as VCR and DVD 

players.  
Throughout this manual, the controllers are referred to as the 

MLC 104, MLC, or controller.  All models offer RS-232- or 

infrared- (IR) based projector (display) control along with IR or 

serial control of other devices (typically A/V input sources), and  

RS-232 control of an Extron switcher.
The MLC 104 IP Plus Series offers two methods of projector 

and source device control: RS-232 or infrared (IR).  The MLC 

can learn IR signals from remote controls to communicate with 

sources such as VCRs and DVD players.  Users can create their 

own device drivers (through IR or RS-232 control) or go to the 

Extron Web site (www.extron.com) to obtain them.
