AliceExtron has introduced Extron Control, a new App that gives users complete access to any Extron control system, directly from their iPad.
After a quick initial setup, the iPad connects to the desired room.
The App automatically loads the user interfaces present on any Extron control product without a lengthy setup and customisation process.
The familiar interfaces emulate the TouchLink touchpanel or MediaLink controllers in a room, as all button presses are kept in sync between the App and the Extron control devices.
“Based on customer feedback, we combined MediaLink for iPad and TouchLink for iPad into one powerful control solution,” explains Casey Hall, vice president of sales and marketing for Extron.
“With this one new App, you’ll be able to control multiple touchpanels and button panels from any location within your wireless network.”
Other useful features include the ability to quickly add rooms and switch between rooms and auto-reconnect, which recalls the previous session even after the App is closed.
Extron Control is compatible with projects created in Extron Global Configurator 3.5 or Global Configurator Plus and Professional.
Extron Control is available for download from the iTunes App Store.
Existing users of the TouchLink App will automatically receive Extron Control when they update.
Since MediaLink for iPad will be retired, Extron is offering education institutions special pricing on the Control App through the Apple Volume Pricing Program.
