Confi guring an auxiliary switcher
An Extron MediaLink Switcher (MLS) or PoleVault switcher (PVS) can be
connected to the MLC to expand the number of inputs available to the projector/
display. However, if the MLS or PVS switcher is disabled, the MLS RS-232 port can
be used as an auxiliary, bidirectional RS-232 port, just like the Display port.
To enable and confi gure an auxiliary switcher, follow these steps:
1. In the Global Viewer MLS Port tab, select the Enable MLS Support radio
button. If the MLC and its attached MLS or PVS switcher are powered on and
connected to the network, GC automatically detects the switcher, and you can
skip to step 4. If not, proceed to step 2.
2. Click on a switcher’s model name in the Available Auxiliary Switchers area.
3. Click the Add button.
4. Click the Configure button or double-click the switcher’s name in the Current
Auxiliary Switcher area. The Confi gure MLS modelname window appears.
5. Click and drag the slider bars to change the per-input audio input gain/
attenuation, the overall audio volume, and the RGB switching delay time.
Select Audio Mute On or Off.
6. Click Exit (at the top of the window) to return to GC, where you can continue
confi guring the MLC or save the project.
