Extron is pleased to announce that the USB Plus Matrix Controller has been added to
the USB Extender Plus Series. The USB Plus Matrix Controller provides a simple
setup and management interface to create USB switching systems using up to 64
USB Extender Plus Series transmitters and receivers over a Gigabit Ethernet
network. Using Extron SIS commands, over an Ethernet or RS-232 input, any AV
control processor can easily control USB switching. The USB Plus Matrix Controller
can be combined with USB Extender Plus Series transmitters and receivers to
create a simple distributed USB matrix switching system for any size room. The
system can be configured quickly and easily using Extron’s Product Configuration
Software – PCS.

The USB Extender Plus Series is ideal for a wide variety of environments requiring
extension and switching of USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 signals with data rates up to
480 Mbps, including courtrooms, conference rooms, classrooms, and lecture halls.
The USB Extender Plus Series extends and switches USB signals from peripheral
devices to a host computer up to 1,980 feet (600 meters) through a Gigabit Ethernet
network or over one CATx cable point-to-point up to 330 feet (100 meters). The
transmitter includes USB peripheral emulation to enable trouble-free booting of a
host computer that is not connected to a keyboard or mouse. The receiver features
a built-in, four-port active hub. Available in various form factors, the USB Extender
Plus Series supports USB peripherals such as keyboards, mice, mass storage
devices, and webcams in pro AV environments.
