Build All Configurations

Before a configuration file is active in the GlobalViewer® interface, the GC file must be built and uploaded to a GlobalViewer host device on the A/V network.

The build process compiles all of the configuration data (port assignments, device locations, schedules, etc.) you have entered into the GC file for each device on the A/V network.

The upload process delivers the built (compiled) file to the GlobalViewer host device.

After the compiled GC file has been uploaded to a host device, you can launch the GlobalViewer interface by entering the host device's IP address in the Address field of an Internet browser.  

Build All Configurations

The Build All Configurations option compiles configuration data for all devices in the GC file, including data for devices previously compiled and uploaded to a GlobalViewer host device.

To initiate a "Build (all)" process:

  1. From the Build menu, select Build All Configurations.
