About Global Configurator (with GC Professional and GC Plus Modes)
What the Software Does
Global Configurator Professional or Plus is the software tool for network setup and configuration of a MediaLink Plus controller.
Global Configurator:
Loads device drivers for controlling and monitoring the status of devices within the AV system.
•
Creates the configuration containing all the settings for the controller and the products with which it interacts in the AV
•
system.
Generates a 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. Using GlobalViewer, users can monitor the MLC Plus.
Extron Control applications can also be used with the MLC Plus to permit remote control of the unit and, by extension, the Extron
and third-party equipment (such as switchers, projectors, displays, computer monitors, and DVD players) that the MLC Plus is
configured to control.
