Extron has started shipping larger, higher-resolution versions of its TouchLink AV control panel system, the TLP 1000MV and TLP 1000TV.

The new models offer an 18-bit, 118 PPI LED-backlit active matrix TFT display with a resolution of 1,024 x 600, brightness of 200 nits, and contrast ratio of 500:1. The new models also include an integrated Ethernet port (10Base-T/100Base-TX) with support for IP Link control processors and power over Ethernet.

Other features include:

• Integrated speakers;
• Sleep timer and motion detector for energy savings;
• Automatic clock synchronization; and
• 48 MB flash memory, 8 MB system RAM, and 128 MB graphics memory.
