Anaheim, California (October 9, 2006) - Extron Electronics is pleased to introduce the MLC 104 IP Plus. MediaLink Controller, designed to centralize control of a classroom presentation system. The MLC 104 IP Plus combines the best features, expandability, and value for easy-to-use classroom AV control.
