Extron PCC 118-500 is a compact 1U, half-rack width presentation control center engineered for small to medium conference rooms, classrooms, and huddle spaces requiring 4K signal handling. It offers eight AV inputs (four HDMI, two VGA with audio, one USB-C, one DisplayPort) with automatic input switching, integrated 4K scaling, seamless transitions, and EDID management. The unit supports HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.3, stereo audio embedding/de-embedding, RS-232/IR control ports, Ethernet for network integration, and configurable contact closure inputs for automation. Built in a durable metal enclosure, it provides reliable, high-performance AV switching and signal processing.

This control center is ideal for fixed installations demanding 4K source compatibility and simple operation without large rack space. It handles HDMI, VGA, USB-C, and DisplayPort sources with auto-detection, auto-switching, and output scaling to match connected displays up to 4K/60 4:4:4. Front-panel controls and backlit buttons allow local operation, while Ethernet/RS-232 enables remote management via Extron control processors or third-party systems.
