Extron recently launched eBUS button panels, which it touts as “customizable, integration-friendly AV system control interfaces” that carry both power and communication across a single cable when linked.
eBUS panels are designed for use with Extron IPCP Pro control processors, according to the company’s press release announcing their availability.
“Since they have the same physical appearance as Extron’s broad range of MediaLink controllers, eBUS button panels can be used alongside them throughout a facility while preserving a consistent look and user experience,” according to the press release. “Buttons can be easily customized using Extron Button Label Generator software or by using the online Custom Button Builder application.”
Here’s more about Extron’s eBUS technology:
Extron’s integration friendly eBUS technology is based on a unique digital bus architecture that allows for easy control system expansion, greater design options, and future upgrades. As with our TouchLink Pro touchpanels, eBUS button panels are designed for use with any Extron IPCP Pro Series control processor.
A single eBUS button panel can be used as the AV control interface for a smaller system or multiple button panels and touchpanels may be combined when a more elaborate control system is required. Powered and non-powered eBUS distribution hubs are available to accommodate a variety of system design topologies.
