Global Configurator

Global Configurator (GC) is a software application that gives you the ability to create a single configuration file of all the controlled devices on their audio/video (A/V) network.

There are two types of devices in an A/V system:

Controllers — Control devices that have an IP Link enabled Ethernet port for network connectivity, and serial, relay, I/O, or infrared (IR) ports for A/V device connectivity.

Controlled devices — A/V products, such as video projectors, displays, VCRs, DVD players, document cameras, projector screens, room lighting systems; all of the equipment that is used to generate an audio and video presentation.

Once a global configuration file is built, GC then generates a graphical user interface called GlobalViewer® that allows users to monitor and control all of the A/V devices contained within the GC configuration file.

When the configuration file is created, one or more of the IP Link controllers on the network can be designated as a GlobalViewer host device.

The completed configuration file is uploaded to the host devices. The GlobalViewer interface can then be launched by opening an Internet browser on a local PC and entering the IP address of the host device in the Address field of the browser.
