* Power over Ethernet allows the control processor to receive power and communication over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a local power supply
* Supports Ethernet-controllable devices
DESCRIPTION
The Extron IPL Pro IRS8 is a compact, high-performance control processor with eight one-way IR/serial ports. As with all IP Link® Pro control processors, the IPL Pro IRS8 combines more power, speed and memory. It features advanced security standards and Gigabit Ethernet, which ensures compatibility with multiple TouchLink® Pro touchpanels using a standard network infrastructure. It is designed to be used as a stand-alone control processor in systems configured with Global Configurator® Plus or Professional. It may also be grouped with an IPCP Pro control processor in more complex systems configured with Global Configurator Professional or programmed with Global Scripter®.
The IPL Pro IRS8 is compatible with GlobalViewer® Enterprise software for complete, centralized AV resource monitoring, management, and control over a computer network. It is ideally suited for use as a primary or secondary control processor in applications that require control for multiple devices within an AV system.
Features
* Supports TouchLink® Pro touchpanels
* Supports secure industry standard communication protocols — All IP Link Pro models use industry standard communication protocols, including HTTP (insecure), HTTPS, SSH, SFTP, SMTP, NTP, Discovery Service, DHCP, DNS, ICMP, and IPv4.
* Eight IR/Serial ports for one-way control of external devices
* Manage, monitor, and control AV devices using a standard Ethernet network
* Power over Ethernet allows the control processor to receive power and communication over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a local power supply
