Global Scripter
NOTE:
NAV products can be used in control systems with the following Extron control
products:
•
IPCP Pro Processors
such as the IPCP Pro 250
•
IPL Pro Control Processors
such as the IPL Pro S3
Global Scripter is a powerful and versatile control system programming software from Extron
for AV systems that use an Extron Pro series control processor (such as an IPCP Pro 250).
Global Scripter, being programming (rather than just configuration) software, is much more
flexible than Global Configurator. Global Scripter allows an integrator to write customized
programs for his or her specific AV system. Using customized programming commands for
configuration and control allows for larger AV systems than Global Configurator.
Global Scripter uses the easy-to-learn Python scripting language and includes the Extron-
exclusive Python library: ControlScript. ControlScript increases the productivity of AV
programmers by incorporating functions used in common AV control system projects, as
well as helpful documentation, reference material, and sample code. Global Scripter can
insert specific AV devices (such as SPDs) and functions into the code.
In a NAV system with an Extron controller, such as an IPCP Pro 250, you can support many
more devices (system controllers, NAVigators, and endpoints) than Global Configurator,
send very specific SIS commands (as programmed code) and get feedback.
NOTE:
Global Scripter software users and integrators must know how to program with
Python and should know how to use Extron ControlScript.
