POLEVAULT SYSTEMS
The MediaLink controller eliminates the need for multiple handheld
IR remotes that can be lost or stolen. There are no batteries to replace and
no confusing menus to memorize. When PoleVault Systems are installed
in multiple classrooms, teachers will confidently move from room to room
when necessary, always encountering the same familiar control panel, no
matter which projector is used.
The MLC 104 IP Plus MediaLink Controller features built-in IP Link
®
Ethernet
control and is configurable using Extron’s free Global Configurator software
which makes installation as simple as selecting choices from intuitive, drop-
down menus instead of writing, compiling, and de-bugging complicated
programming. The MLC104 IP Plus also supports GlobalViewer
™
, Extron’s
free Web-based campus-wide asset management and remote control
software application that provides a powerful, flexible way to manage,
monitor and control MediaLink products.
PoleVault System Benefits
With a Web-based graphical user interface, you can control the system on a computer
screen in the classroom.
Graphical User Interface Option
Technology enhanced classrooms provide instructors with new tools to
teach and interact within the presentation environment. Many instructors
prefer the flexibility of not only controlling the environment via an in-room
controller mounted on a wall or lectern, but also from a control page
on a computer monitor or wireless device. With PoleVault Systems, an
instructor can control the projector, DVD player, VCR, screen, lights, and
more from a colorful Web page on a laptop, classroom computer, or touch
screen monitor.
Extron offers two ways to create a custom Graphical User Interface, or GUI,
for your installation. You can create your own using our free templates or
let Extron software developers do the work for you with our economical
GUI Customization Service.
FREE GUI Graphical User Interface Templates: Do It Yourself
Our free Graphical User Interface Development Kit includes modifiable
templates that can be downloaded from the Extron Web site. The kit includes
Adobe Photoshop template files and code samples that you can use to
create and deploy your own custom GUI. A detailed “getting started” guide
is also included with instructions on modifying the template files and code,
how basic communication is handled by the system, and loading and testing
the base templates.
GUI Customization Service: Extron Does The Work For You
Ordering a custom GUI for your organization is as easy as contacting an
Extron Customer Support Representative and describing what you need. For
a small fee, Extron will take care of all the details.
Our software development team will create a mockup of your customized
GUI. When you are completely satisfied with the design mockup, Extron
software programmers will develop your custom GUI according to your
exact specifications. The files will be fully tested using the same model of
MLC 104 IP Plus controller used in your PoleVault system. When the testing
is done, an Extron Application Engineer will send you your GUI files and work
with you to install the GUI on your system.
Enhance the Classroom Audio
Attempting to run the presentation audio through the projector might be
seen as a money saving option, but it results in poor quality sound and a
low volume level. Projectors just don’t have the speakers or amplification to
produce quality sound and overcome noise in the classroom.
Many classrooms have acoustical tile ceilings that are suspended from the
roof or floor structure above the classroom. This forms a space or “plenum”
between the suspended ceiling and the building. For voice and program
material, standard PoleVault Systems provide code required plenum rated
wide dispersion ceiling speakers that distribute the sound across the entire
classroom. As an option, you could select wall-mounted program speakers
which can be mounted near the projection screen.
Extron SI 3C LP plenum rated speakers fill the classroom with high quality sound.
