KEY FEATURES: EZ-100 Standard EZtrol
Most educators agree that the biggest threat to their confident use of media in the
classroom or lecture theater is that every equipment setup they encounter is both
extremely complicated and completely different from the last one they used.
EZtrol makes unassisted instructor control of data/video projectors a practical reality
in colleges and universities, by providing a simple, affordable, consistent control
interface regardless of the projector used.
Unlike the hand-held remote controls supplied with projectors, EZtrol provides a small
number of big, backlit buttons with large print. With EZtrol end users get easy
access to only the projector functions they need!
EZtrol is low voltage DC powered: there are no dead batteries to replace. It’s a wired
(RS-232) control, so there are no hit-or-miss Infrared line-of-sight issues. And,
because it’s installed, EZtrol can’t be lost.
And, unlike media room control systems available from other control manufacturers,
EZtrol is inexpensive to acquire, install, program, and update. That affordability
makes EZtrol a viable control for every projector.
EZtrol was designed for institutional use, by an institution. After extensive research,
media professionals at a major US research university concluded that no off-the-
shelf control system satisfied their needs … so, in 1998, they developed their own.
EZtrol is now installed in classrooms and lecture theaters across North America.
Faculty report new confidence and increased use of projection systems. Media
staff report that with EZtrol installed, control-related support calls drop to zero.

Easy Data/Video
Projector Control
by LSE Controls LLC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: EZ-100 Standard EZtrol
Configurations: For a list of currently supported projectors, visit http://www.lsecontrols.com/codedownloader.asp. There is a choice of
the default 2 hour timer codeset, or a 5, 9, or 0 hour timer codeset, available through the EZloader. Control can be provided for any
currently available, RS-232 controllable data/video projector. Custom control configurations are available on special order.
About the Timer: Many projectors now include a Power Management feature that can automatically shut the projector down after a
specific period of "no signal" on the selected input. However, some equipment, like desktop computers and DVD players output a
signal as long as they're "ON". The EZtrol timer can minimize lamp wastage, by ensuring that an unattended projector is shutdown.
Package Contents: EZtrol Standard remote control keypad and circuit board. 2-gang Wiremold metal enclosure. AC Adapter (power
cube) LSE Connection Adapter. Acrylic button label sheet. Mounting screws x 2. EZtrol Installation Instructions. EZloader control
code installation software on CD-ROM. EZloader Instructions. Access to EZloader code website.
