About Global Configurator (GC)
What It Does
Global Configurator is the software tool for setting up an MLC and the system it controls.
Global Configurator:
z Loads device drivers and uses commands from them for controlling other products
z Creates a single configuration file containing all the settings for the MLC and the products it interacts with in the AV system
z Generates a graphical user interface called GlobalViewer that is uploaded to the MLC (a GlobalViewer host device)
along with the completed configuration and can be accessed as a web page
By using GlobalViewer, users can manage, monitor, and control Extron and third-party equipment such as projectors,
displays, computer monitors, Blu-ray
™ players, and DVD players.
What To Set Up in GC
Use GC software to create a configuration that tells the MLC how its ports will function; how to control other products;
what to monitor; when to do things; and whom to notify, how, when, and under what circumstances.
