About the IPCP 505
The IPCP 505 can control and monitor a projector or other display device, source devices,
switchers, and various other items such as lights, a projector lift, or a screen motor. It can
used in a distributed control system environment or as a stand-alone controller. It allows
legacy products to be linked to and controlled via a network. The IPCP also can power
devices that accept 12 VDC.

An IPCP 505 control processor is the centerpiece of a control system that features Extron
TouchLink Touchpanels. The IPCP supports multiple TouchLink touchpanels over a standard
Ethernet network. The touchpanels provide a convenient interface for controlling the IPCP,
which, in turn, controls the other system components. Another option is to use a third-party
device such as a touchpanel or tablet in conjunction with Extron LinkLicense.
NOTE: GUI Configurator software is used to design the user interface layout of any
Configure the control processor using GC. Once you have set up how you want it to work
(set up IP addresses and functions, assigned drivers to ports, configured relays and digital
input or output), that information is saved to a project configuration file that is built and
uploaded into the IPCP and to any optional TouchLink touchpanels.
