The Extron IPCP Pro 550 is a versatile, high-performance control processor designed for centralized AV control in larger applications. As part of the new IP Link® Pro Series, the IPCP Pro 550 is engineered to be faster and more secure in almost every way. It features advanced security standards and Gigabit Ethernet, which ensures compatibility with multiple TouchLink® Pro touchpanels using today’s network infrastructure. It also supports Extron LinkLicense™ that enables the use of third party devices as primary control interfaces. The IPCP Pro 550 is an ideal choice for controlling multiple devices and signal types within an AV system.

The IPCP Pro 550 is configured using Extron Global Configurator Plus or Global Configurator™ Professional software. For enterprise-wide applications, GlobalViewer® Enterprise can provide centralized AV resource monitoring, management, and control over a computer network.

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.
• Supports LinkLicense — Enables the use of third party devices as primary control interfaces.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
