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.
