Extron GlobalViewer Enterprise software installed and running
GlobalViewer Enterprise
Designed to facilitate the workflow of AV system administrators and support personnel at educational institutions of all sizes, Extron GlobalViewer Enterprise AV asset management software comes packaged with GlobalViewer Campus Communications Suite. GlobalViewer Enterprise provides district-wide access to AV components over the network for remote support, energy management, and planning.
Real-time monitoring of all classroom AV assets on the network ensures they are up, running, and being used to their potential. For support issues, technicians can remotely access AV equipment to assist users with system operation. Disconnect and Event Alert email messages alert the proper officials of potential theft or other AV equipment problems.
Automatically powering down AV components and scheduling system availability lowers operating costs and extends the life of equipment. Preventing projectors from being left on overnight or over the weekend results in longer lamp life and lower energy bills.
Comprehensive reporting features provide important information for proactive maintenance and asset analysis. Lamp hour reports track usage and assist in lamp replacement scheduling. Usage reports for AV components provide important data for resource allocation, budgeting, and professional development.

What Schools Have to Say About GlobalViewer Campus Communication Suite
Forestville Academy, a public charter school in Forestville, California with students in grades K-8 replaced their inadequate PA system with GVCCS, which has met and exceeded their expectations. GVCCS's value was emphatically validated when a man involved in a domestic dispute was spotted wielding a gun near the school. Administrators used GVCCS to broadcast a pre-recorded campus-wide lockdown announcement.
The system worked flawlessly. Everyone in the classrooms and on the sports fields heard the message and took shelter in their designated area. The community is really behind this announcement project.
Murrieta Valley Unified School District in Murrieta, California educates 23,400 K-12 students at 20 campuses. A few years ago, the district installed Extron WallVault Digital Systems in 1,100 learning spaces. They also began evaluating GVCCS. Administrators, teachers, and classroom staff all gave GVCCS high marks. They especially liked the ability to control their own schedule, create their own audio content, control public address volume, alter bell tones, and have two-way intercom communications. GVCCS proved its worth as both a technical and creative resource. So much so, that MVUSD deployed GVCCS district wide.
The benefits of GVCCS have been clear to us since the first deployment. The dynamism that the system offers for content and delivery, coupled with the ability it gives each school to tailor these features to individual site needs, is a game changer.
