Extron IPCP Pro Control Processors (13 products)

Extron IPCP Pro Control Processors

Extron IPCP Pro processors are the IP Link Pro control platform behind Extron room control, driving touchpanels, button panels, displays, and environmental systems. Creation Networks stocks the current IPCP Pro catalog for U.S. integrators. For SKU selection and pricing, contact us through creationnetworks.net.

Product Families

  • IPCP Pro xi Quad Core Processors — including the IPCP Pro 555Q xi for large and complex rooms.
  • IPCP Pro 350 xi and 360 — mid-size processors for standard conference and classroom control.
  • IPCP Pro S1 xi — compact processor with LinkLicense user interface upgrade support.
  • eBUS Expansion Support — eBUS button panels and expansion modules on a single cable run.
  • Global Configurator and Global Scripter — configuration and custom programming toolchains.
  • LinkLicense Upgrades — software upgrades that add user interface and feature capability.

Why Specify Extron IPCP Pro

  • Quad core xi processors handle large device counts without slowdown
  • Configure in Global Configurator or write custom logic in Global Scripter
  • eBUS lets button panels and sensors share a single control cable run
  • Long product lifecycles with multi-generation firmware support
  • United States federal and state contract availability

Typical Applications

  • Corporate conference rooms and executive briefing centers
  • Higher-education classrooms and divisible lecture halls
  • Government chambers, courtrooms, and command centers
  • Houses of worship with combined AV and lighting control
  • Campus-wide standardized room control deployments

How IPCP Pro Compares to Other Control Processor Platforms

Aspect Extron IPCP Pro Typical Control Processor Alternative
Programming model Configuration first, scripting optional Often programming required for every room
Expansion eBUS panels and modules on one cable Usually separate home runs
Software tools Global Configurator and Global Scripter included Frequently licensed separately
Federal availability On GSA schedules Varies

Picking the Right Extron IPCP Pro for the Room

The IPCP Pro line scales by device count and complexity rather than by room label. The compact IPCP Pro S1 xi suits a single display room with a touchpanel and a couple of serial devices. The IPCP Pro 350 xi and 360 sit in the middle for typical conference rooms and classrooms with displays, a switcher, audio, and shades. The quad core IPCP Pro 555Q xi is the one to specify when the room has many controlled devices, heavy logic, or a large custom interface. All of them run the same IP Link Pro platform, so a project can mix sizes without changing how rooms are built.

Rooms are configured in Extron Global Configurator, and Global Scripter is there when a project needs custom logic. LinkLicense upgrades add user interface capability without swapping hardware. Creation Networks stocks IPCP Pro processors alongside TLP Pro touchpanels, eBUS and NBP button panels, and the LinkLicense catalog.

Frequently Asked Questions About Extron IPCP Pro

Q: What does xi mean in an IPCP Pro model name?
A: xi denotes the current generation of IP Link Pro control processors, with faster processing and more memory than the previous models. Specify xi models for new installations.

Q: Do I need a separate touchpanel?
A: The processor is the control brain and the interface is separate. Pair it with an Extron TLP Pro touchpanel, an NBP network button panel, or an eBUS button panel depending on how much interface the room needs.

Q: What is LinkLicense on a control processor?
A: LinkLicense is a software upgrade that unlocks additional capability, most commonly a user interface upgrade that lets a processor serve a control interface without extra hardware.

Q: Is IPCP Pro built into any switchers?
A: Yes. Many Extron DTP CrossPoint and IN Series products carry a built-in IPCP Pro control processor, shown in the model name as IPCP Q or IPCP A. In those rooms a standalone processor is often unnecessary.

Q: What software is used to program it?
A: Global Configurator for configuration-based setup and Global Scripter for custom Python-based logic. Both are part of the Extron control toolchain.

Not sure whether the room needs a standalone processor or a matrix with IPCP built in? Contact our AV team.
