Extron Releases the MediaLink® Classroom Systems Design Guide

Anaheim, California (June 27, 2005) - Extron Electronics is pleased to announce the free MediaLink Classroom Systems Design Guide written by Extron's President and CEO, Andrew Edwards. The design guide is an educational and comprehensive resource intended to aid in designing, installing, and assembling MediaLink and related AV products for classroom and conference room presentation systems. The "Design" portion of the guide offers an insightful primer, helpful pointers, key attributes, and more than 20 suggested system designs that range from the simplest to the more complex. Application diagrams are featured along with complete equipment and material lists that include quantities, models with descriptions, part numbers, pricing, and optional upgrades. All of the example systems shown in the guidebook will tie into a new on-line system configurator at www.extron.com/systems, which will allow systems to be customized for individual applications. In addition to design information, this full-color, 104-page guide features detailed information on Extron's complete line of MediaLink controllers, switchers, and accessories. It also highlights various Extron mounting options, wall plates, cable assemblies, audio amplifiers, and the recently introduced System INTEGRATOR™ speaker series that can be used in combination with the MediaLink family of products. "The MediaLink Classroom Systems Design Guide provides a clear and easy-to-read explanation of the MediaLink classroom system concept and the fundamentals of system design," says Andrew Edwards, President and CEO for Extron. "It is a comprehensive resource for anyone with an interest in creating and installing a complete AV system in any classroom or conference room."
