Global Configurator

Global Configurator (GC) is a software application that gives users 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, and infrared (IR) ports for A/V device connectivity

•Controlled devices - Audio/video products, such as video projectors, displays, VCRs, DVD players, document cameras, projector screens, room lighting systems, etc;

all of the equipment that is used to generate an audio/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 device(s). The GlobalViewer interface can then be launched by opening an Internet browser on a local PC and entering the host device’s IP address in the browser's Address field.
