Introduction

Extron GUI Configurator is an intuitive design tool that makes

creating and maintaining Extron TouchLink® touchscreen user

interfaces easy, even for those without graphic design skills. Getting

started is fast and simple with ready-to-use, customizable design

templates, or start from scratch and build your own layout using

our comprehensive software. The touchscreen design templates

are fully customizable and matched carefully to popular AV

system applications. Simply select the template that best suits the

application. In many cases, all the input sources, display control,

and environmental settings are already in place. Each template is

fully developed and includes complete, detailed documentation of

its application and capabilities. If any modification is required, GUI

Configurator software’s user-friendly, drag-and-drop interface makes

adding or removing a source or other element a snap.

Ready-To-Use Templates

GUI Configurator includes ready-to-use templates created for the

following popular AV system applications:

• Single Display Room

• Dual Display Room

• Divisible Room

• Multi-Image System

• Video Conference Suite Visit www.extron.com/guiresources for more interface design resources.

GUI Configurator templates are designed to be:

• Intuitive to Use – Readily learned and understood with clearly

labeled buttons and page flows that make sense

• Easy to Edit – Each element of the templates is easy to

customize, from modifying appearance properties, including

color and shape, to adding new elements or removing

unused items

• Broadly Applicable – Our templates are matched carefully to

the most common AV applications

Since system designs vary, our templates can be customized to suit

the specific needs of any application. GUI Configurator’s intuitive

design environment enables a wide variety of design choices for

buttons, colors, logos, font styles, and more.

Start From Scratch and Design Your Own Layout

A wide array of design options enable users to develop their own

touchscreen layouts to meet almost any system requirement.

GUI Configurator software’s resource library of shapes, graphics,

and sounds provide a wide variety of choices for design of master

pages, pop-up pages for transport controls, multi-state buttons,

3D effects, video windows, dynamic text, and more. In addition,

users can import their own images or audio files into GUI

Configurator and use the resource management tool to provide

further customization capabilities. The Designer Window displays

the layout design in progress, so the changes can be seen while the

customization occurs.

Upload Finished Designs to TouchLink Touchpanel

Once the touchscreen layout design is completed, the process for

uploading the design files to a TouchLink touchpanel is simple. GUI

Configurator connects to one or more TouchLink touchpanels over

the network for uploading the layout project data. In addition, project

data can be saved to disk for future use.
