Extron Global Scripter Harnesses Python Language

Extron has certified programmers across the world to use the Extron Global Scripter integrated development environment.

The Anaheim, Calif.-based company says Global Scripter harnesses the “dynamic power and intuitive nature” of the Python programming language.

“With the addition of Extron control system programming, customers now have the most powerful tools available to build efficiently designed, sophisticated control systems,” says Casey Hall, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing, Extron.

“By combining Extron’s Global Scripter IDE with the ControlScript custom Python library, we offer a very user friendly, robust programming platform for our customers worldwide.”

Explaining the value of Python further, Extron says the programming language is an efficient, object-oriented tool that enables programmers to reuse code and ultimately save developmental time.

Compatible with Extron’s ControlScript Python library, the combination of the Global Scripter programming platform and ControlScript library uses familiar A/V terms to make the programming of A/V control systems easier.
