DESCRIPTION
The Extron IPL Pro S3 is a compact, high-performance control processor with three bidirectional serial ports. As with all IP Link® Pro control processors, the IPL Pro S3 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 smaller 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 S3 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 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, and IPv4.
* Two bidirectional RS-232 serial ports with hardware and software handshaking — Captive screw serial ports that can control two RS-232 devices.
* One bidirectional RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial port with hardware and software handshaking — Captive screw serial port that can communicate with one RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serially controlled device.
* 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.
* 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
* Supports 10/100/1000Base-T
* Supports Ethernet-controllable devices — Allows for control of multiple Ethernet-enabled AV devices such as displays, switchers, and sources.
* 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.
* 1U, quarter rack width metal enclosure
* Plenum rated - meets UL 2043 for heat and smoke release, excluding power supply
* Highly reliable, energy-efficient external universal power supply included, replacement part #70-775-01 — Provides worldwide power compatibility, with high demonstrated reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating costs.
