What is Extron shipping?
Extron is now shipping its TouchLink Pro 35 Series touchpanels. The new series updates the company’s control lineup with new display technology, browser-based architecture and expanded deployment options for AV environments.
The TouchLink Pro 35 Series includes four screen sizes: 5.5 inches, 8 inches, 10.1 inches and 15.6 inches. Extron is offering the panels in tabletop, wall mount and Cable Cubby configurations, with black and white finish options. All wall mount models except the 15.6-inch version support portrait or landscape mounting.
What display and interface updates are included?
The series includes IPS display technology and a modern web-based interface architecture. Extron says the IPS panels provide improved color reproduction, contrast, brightness and viewing angles.
The company also says the touchpanels use a web stack built on HTML and related browser technologies. That design is intended to provide more consistent on-screen rendering and align the user experience with Extron Control mobile and web applications. Extron adds that the web engine supports H.264 video streaming and creates a foundation for future features such as dynamic images and real-time widgets.
Which models can become standalone control systems?
Select TouchLink Pro 35 models can become standalone control systems. Extron says the TLP Pro 535, TLP Pro 835 and TLP Pro 1035 can be converted using LinkLicense for TLP Control Processor and the optional TLCA 2 TouchLink Control Port Expansion Adapter.
According to the company, this approach can reduce hardware needs by removing the need for a separate control processor. Extron positions that option for installations where space is tight or cost efficiency is a priority.
What do the status indicators do?
The multi-color status indicators provide visual feedback on room and system conditions. Extron says the indicators can show system states, alerts and room availability without requiring users to navigate menus.
The feature includes 10 default colors with predefined setup options, while also supporting custom HEX values for more exact color matching. That can help organizations align indicators with branding or application-specific needs.
What does Extron say is the main benefit?
Extron says the main benefit is a more advanced touchpanel experience that combines responsive control with flexible design. Casey Hall, chief marketing officer for Extron, says, “We’ve designed the TLP Pro 35 Series to deliver the most advanced touchpanel experience yet, combining responsive control with elegant design.”
Hall also says the touchpanels pair vivid IPS displays with versatile mounting options to meet customer demand for streamlined AV control and stronger performance. For integrators and end users, the launch expands the range of touchpanel choices now available for new control system deployments.
