Extron Introduces GlobalViewer® Campus Communication Suite

Anaheim, California (October 3, 2012) - Extron Electronics is pleased to introduce GlobalViewer Campus Communication Suite, which combines bells, public address announcements, intercom, and network monitoring and control of classroom AV into one software package. Comprehensive features, including flexible management of bell schedules, campus-wide communication, and AV assets over an existing network, make GlobalViewer Campus Communication Suite ideal for any campus.

"We created GlobalViewer Campus Communication Suite in response to the needs of our customers for an easy-to-use solution capable of managing campus bells and announcements, while providing advanced AV asset monitoring and control," says Anthony Cortes, Director of Sales and Marketing, K-12 Classroom Systems for Extron. "In addition, it gives districts the flexibility to use the existing network infrastructure and eliminates the need to maintain multiple systems."

GlobalViewer Campus Communication Suite allows recurring bell schedules to be created and managed locally or at the district level. For special events, such as a rally or holiday closure, bell schedules can easily be modified or disabled. Using the intuitive graphical user interface of an Extron TouchLink™ touchpanel or the GlobalViewer Web page, office personnel can make live public address announcements or play back pre-recorded messages with the push of a button. Zone capability allows the announcements to be routed to all locations on campus, a particular area, or a specific room. The integrated intercom system supports two-way voice communication over the network and provides flexible setup options that enable users to quickly connect with the office, help desk, or other classrooms.

GlobalViewer Campus Communication Suite also supports real-time monitoring and remote control of classroom AV components. Power down scheduling lowers operating costs and extends the life of equipment. Comprehensive reporting provides valuable information for proactive maintenance and asset analysis. GlobalViewer Campus Communication Suite is available for customers in the United States and Canada.
