Extron IPCP Pro 360 IP Link Pro Control Processor

Product Description

The Extron IPCP Pro 360 control processor is an IP Link Pro control processor designed for centralized AV control in commercial systems that require an isolated AV network with integrated device power. The IPCP Pro 360 pairs three dedicated AV LAN ports with one standard LAN port and includes switched PoE+ power output, making it well suited to conference rooms, classrooms, and larger meeting spaces where touchpanels and interfaces should draw power and communication over a single cable.

As a PoE+ control processor, the IPCP Pro 360 delivers up to 30 watts per port on two of its three AV LAN ports, supplying power and communication to supported TouchLink Pro touchpanels and interfaces without separate power supplies. The three AV LAN ports form an integrated unmanaged switch that isolates connected AV devices from the corporate network, protecting them from outside intrusion or interference, while a built-in AV LAN DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses. The LAN-to-AV-LAN path still permits discovery, management, and firmware updates of Extron devices.

A comprehensive control interface set, three serial ports, two IR/serial ports, four digital I/O ports, four relays, and an eBUS port, lets a single unit manage displays, projectors, switchers, lighting, screens, and shades. The IPCP Pro 360 is configured with Global Configurator Plus or Global Configurator Professional and programmed with Global Scripter, with GlobalViewer Enterprise for centralized AV resource monitoring across the enterprise. For deployments that need a quad-core processor with more memory, compare the IPCP Pro 360Q xi; for smaller systems, see the single-core models in our Extron control processor collection.

Key Features

• Three AV LAN Ports for Network Isolation — Three dedicated AV LAN ports on an integrated unmanaged switch isolate connected AV devices from the corporate network, protecting them from outside intrusion or interference.
• Switched PoE+ Power Output — Two AV LAN ports provide switched PoE+ at up to 30 watts per port, supplying power and communication to supported touchpanels and interfaces without separate power supplies.
• Built-In AV LAN DHCP Server — The AV LAN DHCP server automatically distributes IP addresses and network parameters to connected AV devices, streamlining system setup and management.
• Comprehensive Control I/O — Three serial ports, two IR/serial ports, four configurable digital I/O ports, four relays, and an eBUS port allow one unit to control displays, projectors, lighting, screens, and shades.
• Broad Endpoint Compatibility — The processor supports Extron TouchLink Pro touchpanels, Network Button Panels, and eBUS button panels for flexible user-interface design.
• LinkLicense Support — The IPCP Pro 360 supports Extron LinkLicense to add convenience features and expand system functionality.
• Secure Industry-Standard Protocols — Support for HTTPS, SSH, SFTP, SMTP, NTP, and IEEE 802.1X authentication meets the network security requirements of enterprise and education environments.
• Configuration and Programming Software — The processor is configured with Global Configurator Plus or Professional and programmed with Global Scripter, with GlobalViewer Enterprise for centralized resource management.
• Internal Everlast Power Supply — The internal Extron Everlast power supply provides worldwide power compatibility and is backed by a 7-year parts and labor warranty.
• Half-Rack Metal Enclosure — A 1U-high, half-rack-width metal enclosure with convection cooling installs in an equipment rack with an optional 1U rack shelf.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does PoE+ on the IPCP Pro 360 do?

Two of the three AV LAN ports provide switched PoE+ at up to 30 watts per port, delivering power and communication to supported devices such as TouchLink Pro touchpanels and interfaces. This eliminates the need for separate local power supplies at those endpoints.

How do the three AV LAN ports work?

The three AV LAN ports form an integrated unmanaged switch that isolates connected AV devices from the corporate network, protecting them from outside intrusion or interference. A built-in DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses, and the LAN-to-AV-LAN path still permits discovery, management, and firmware updates of Extron devices.

How is the IPCP Pro 360 configured and programmed?

The processor is configured with Global Configurator Plus or Global Configurator Professional and programmed with Global Scripter. GlobalViewer Enterprise provides centralized AV resource monitoring and management across a network.

How does the IPCP Pro 360 differ from the IPCP Pro 360Q xi?

The IPCP Pro 360 has 512 MB of SDRAM and 4.5 GB of Flash, while the quad-core IPCP Pro 360Q xi upgrades to a quad-core processor with 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB of Flash for larger, more demanding control programs. Both provide three AV LAN ports with PoE+ on two ports in a half-rack enclosure.

Is the IPCP Pro 360 rack-mountable?

Yes. The 1U-high, half-rack-width metal enclosure mounts in an equipment rack with an optional 1U rack shelf.

What warranty and support are included?

The IPCP Pro 360 carries a 3-year parts and labor warranty, and the internal Extron Everlast power supply is backed by a 7-year parts and labor warranty. Creation Networks provides commercial AV product support to assist with selection and integration.
