A typical application for a System 5 IP switcher with integrated audio amplifier
About Global Configurator
Extron Global Configurator (GC) software is an application that allows non-programmers to configure a wide range of Extron IP Link®-enabled products, and create entire GlobalViewer™ systems. It provides an integrated environment for defining A/V control and system monitoring functionality from an easy-to-use graphical user interface. It allows you to configure a single room controller as well as facilitate building a Web-based asset management and remote monitoring system for hundreds of A/V devices in multiple locations.
Global Configurator provides the following features for the System 5 IP:
Offline configuration—Using Global Configurator, you can
configure your System 5 IP switcher without having the actual device on hand, eliminating the need to connect to your switcher before starting the configuration.
GlobalViewer Web pages—GlobalViewer Web pages (HTML,
XML, and JavaScript) allow you to control and manage devices such as VCRs, DVDs, and displays connected to an Extron System 5 IP. These pages are generated when you build and upload your project files in GC. GlobalViewer must be viewed using Microsoft Internet Explorer® (version 6 and above), with Active X enabled, from any computer with access to the network.
About this Manual
This setup guide allows you to easily and quickly set up and configure your System 5 IP switcher. Step by step instructions show you how to set up the hardware first, then use the Global Configurator program to add serial and IR drivers, configure the front panel buttons, set a shutdown schedule, and set up e-mail alerts for display disconnection as well as lamp hours warnings.
About the System 5 IP Series Switchers
The Extron System 5 IP switchers are five input, one output, active, audio/video (A/V) switchers capable of controlling a projector and various other items such as lights, a projector lift, or a screen motor. Throughout this manual they are referred to as the System 5 IP, the switcher, or System 5.
Four models are available:
The Front Panel Controller (FPC) models, which include front panel controls for projector power, selectable functions/room control, input selection, volume adjustment, and simple configuration—
u with an audio amplifier (amplifier model), and
u without an audio amplifier (nonamplifier model)
The non-FPC models, which have no front panel controls except an input 5 selection button—
u with an audio amplifier (amplifier model)
u without an audio amplifier (nonamplifier model)
The System 5 IP offers two methods of projector and source device control: RS-232 or infrared (IR). The switcher can learn IR signals from remote controls to communicate with sources such as VCRs and DVD players. Users can create their own IR device drivers or go to the Extron Web site to obtain device drivers.

Lineout and preamp audio outputs — Connect an audio output
device to either connector for line level audio outputs. The lineout and preamp audio outputs are simultaneously active. Therefore, two devices can be connected at the same time (one to each output).
• The lineout connector outputs a fixed level audio signal that is not affected by audio adjustments.
• The preamp connector outputs a variable, line level audio signal for use with a powered amplifier. The volume can be controlled (attenuated) via the front panel knob, RS-232, or Ethernet/IP communication. The volume range is 0 (mute) through 40 steps (0% through 100% of the maximum volume).
