DESCRIPTION

The Extron IPCP Pro 550 xi is a versatile, high-performance control processor designed for centralized AV control in larger applications. It features enhanced performance with greater processing power and twice the memory of our previous IP Link Pro series. The IPCP Pro 550 xi also features advanced security standards and Gigabit Ethernet, which ensures compatibility with multiple TouchLink® Pro touchpanels and Network Button Panels using a standard network infrastructure. The IPCP Pro 550 xi is an ideal choice for controlling multiple devices and control signal types within an AV system.
The Extron IPCP Pro 550 xi can be configured using Global Configurator Plus or Global Configurator Professional software or programmed using Extron Global Scripter. For enterprise-wide applications, GlobalViewer® Enterprise can provide centralized AV resource monitoring, management, and control over a computer network. In addition, the IPCP Pro 550 xi supports Extron LinkLicense®, which further enhances the capabilities of Extron Pro Series control systems.

Features
* Upgraded single-core processor and two times more memory with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of Flash — For increased project upload speeds, faster runtime performance, and more sophisticated projects.
* Supports TouchLink Pro touchpanels, eBUS® devices, and Network Button Panels
* Supports secure industry standard communications protocols — All IP Link Pro models use industry standard communication protocols, including HTTP (insecure), HTTPS, SSH, SFTP, SMTP, NTP, Discovery Service, DHCP, DNS, ICMP, 802.1X, and IPv4.
* Supports LinkLicense® — Extron LinkLicense unlocks features that add convenience, expand system functionality, and enhance the capabilities of Extron products.
* Six bidirectional RS-232 serial ports with software handshaking — Captive screw serial ports that can control six RS-232 devices.
* Two bidirectional RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial ports with hardware and software handshaking — Captive screw serial ports that can communicate with two RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serially controlled devices.
* Eight IR/Serial ports for one-way control of external devices
* Four Flex I/O ports — Allows for interfacing with other systems in the room.
* Eight relays for controlling room functions — Enables control of lighting, screen settings, and other device functions.
* eBUS port for connecting eBUS button panels and accessories
* Four independently switched 12 VDC outputs — Provides power to low voltage devices to eliminate the need for local power supplies.
* Ethernet monitoring and control — Manage, monitor, and control AV devices using a standard Ethernet network.
* Central Deployment - Use the primary control processor to deploy all system files, configurations and programs — Quickly deploy the control system by uploading all project files to the primary control processor. The primary control processor will automatically transfer files to the other touchpanels, control processors and button panels in that system once they come online.
* Supports popular BMS – Building Management System protocols, such as BACnet, KNX, and DALI — These protocols allow for centralized monitoring and control of mechanical and electrical systems that include HVAC, lighting, power, fire, and security.
* Supports 10/100/1000Base-T
* Supports Ethernet-controllable devices — Allows for control of multiple Ethernet-enabled AV devices such as displays, switchers, and sources.
* Integrated IR Learning capability — Captures IR remote codes from a device’s handheld remote control.
* Automatic clock synchronization allows touchpanel to display the accurate time and date
* Supports control system synchronization — Synchronization will allow users to retain and recover the state of their configured endpoints in case of network or power failure.
* Front panel port status indicators
* Multi-level password protection — Allows security to be set based on user roles.
* Fully customizable using Extron control system software — GUI Designer combined with Global Configurator Plus, Global Configurator Professional, or Global Scripter.
* Library of Pro Series device drivers and modules for use with Global Configurator and Global Scripter respectively — Start and execute projects quickly using Extron Global Configurator device drivers and Global Scripter® modules to control various display and source devices, such as projectors, flat-panel displays, and Blu-ray players. Extron offers fully tested Ethernet, serial, and IR device drivers and modules.
* Supports 802.1X Authentication — Provides support for IEEE 802.1X authentication standard for port-based Network Access Control.
* Compact, 1U, half rack width metal enclosure
* Internal Extron Everlast™ power supply — Provides worldwide power compatibility, with high‑demonstrated reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating cost
* Extron Everlast Power Supply is covered by a 7‑year parts and labor warranty
