Step 1: What is MediaLink?

Extron's MediaLink System is a family of easy-to-use and inexpensive products that work together to control A/V equipment in any small, one-projector classroom, boardroom, or auditorium. The MLC 206 MediaLink Controller acts as an extended remote control panel, and can be mounted on a wall, podium, or lectern. The MLS 306 and MLS 506 MediaLink Switchers consist of five different switchers that can be used in conjunction with the MLC 206, or as standalone switchers. There are also a variety of MediaLink Accessories that include Architectural Adapter Plates (AAP), remotes, wall plates, mounting brackets, and junction boxes.

To select the right MediaLink product for any given environment, the following should be considered:

1. What type of control do you need for your A/V system?
2. How many sources will be used?
3. Does your system require audio?
4. What type of device will display the video?
