Control Principles - 2
GUI Designer
Used to design, create, maintain TouchLink Pro user interfaces.
Control Scripts
An electron-exclusive python library, designed to incorporate functions used in AV control system projects and helpful documents, reference material, and sample code.
IR Emitter
Attached using double-stick tape or silicon adhesive, will transmit a control signal to the IR receiver on the front of an AV device, up to 100ft.
Product Configuration Software - PCS
Combines ability to access and configure certain products, while also being able to update device firmware.
Wireless Access Point - WAP
Control communication can be sent over hardwired cabling infrastructure or wirelessly using _______ or a facility's existing hardware.
Extron Control Software Suite
Designed to maximize potential of each device and their ability to work together.
Firmware
Dictates performance and behavior of a product, in all control system hardware.
Firmware Loader
Easy way to load firmware on devices connected via USB serial (FS-232), or LAN.
Global Configurator Pro - GCPro
Global Configurator ideal for applications requiring multiple control processors, enhanced functionality, and advanced configuration.
Global Configurator Plus - GCPlus
Global Configurator ideal for smaller applications requiring one control processor and one control interface.
Device Drivers
Group of files that enable one or more hardware devices to communicate with operating system.
Global Scripter
Readily-available elements to be incorporated into programs and increase development and lower cost.
GUI Designer
Ready-to-use templates and resource kits, can build layout from scratch, fully custumizable.
RS-422
Improved version of RS-232, twisted pair cable to reduce noise, signal balancing to transmit data for longer distance with faster rates. 10Mbps -> 50ft, 100Kbps -> 4000ft.
Global Scripter
Integrated development environment that harness the dynamic power and intuitive nature of python programming language.
Global Viewer Enterprise - GVE
Monitor AV equipment, define global schedules to control power, reporting tools provide power, flexible way to manage.
Infrared - IR
Most commonly seen when controlling AV devices using a remote. One-way wireless interface to control a single device. Simplifies the user experience.
RS-232
One of the most common serial interfaces. Standard communication to connect mouse/printer/modem before the USB. Maximum distance of 50 feet, DB-9 connector for termination or DB-25, mini-DIN, or captive screw connector for termination.
Global Configurator
Powerful configuration software tool designed to be used exclusively with Extron Pro Series Control products. Requires ECP certification.
Toolbelt
Stand-alone application for management and troubleshooting Pro Series control systems. Allows users to easily change device network settings, add email servers, upload firmware, remotely work on it.
Serial Control
Sending point-to-point command signals between a controller or control processor and a device.
Global Viewer Enterprise - GVE
Server-based software that simplifies AV system resource management with intuitive control for hundreds of common AV tasks. Easy navigation between rooms, management of each system, remote interaction with control products, system notifications.
RS-485
Similar data rates to RS-422, twisted pair cable to reduce noise, up to 32 devices can communicate through the same data line. Any devices on this data line can communicate to each other without going through a master device.
IR Learner Pro
Software utility capturing IR codes from IR remotes to create or modify custom drivers for controlling IR devices. Used with Extron Pro Series control processors with built-in IR capture ports.
