❔ Overview

The MediaLink‑Plus Controller Simulator is a JavaFX GUI that mirrors the look‑and‑feel of an Extron EB‑50‑style AV control panel. It lets users:

• Toggle system ON / OFF with realistic LED feedback
• Switch sources between HDMI and Wireless inputs
• Adjust Volume via a virtual encoder ring
• Observe state changes in real‑time just like a physical controller

Built for AV‑technician training, UI prototyping, or as a portfolio showcase demonstrating JavaFX component design.
