In Extron's terminology, what is a "driver"?

In Extron's terminology, a "driver" refers to a piece of software that facilitates communication between the control system and a connected device. This software acts as an intermediary, translating commands and data between the control system and various hardware components like projectors, displays, or audio systems. The primary function of a driver is to enable seamless interaction and control, ensuring that commands sent from the control system are properly understood by the device and vice versa.

By using drivers, users can automate and manage complex AV systems, streamlining the control processes and enhancing the overall functionality of the system. This is vital for integrating various devices within an AV setup, allowing different manufacturers' equipment to work together effectively in a cohesive environment. Understanding drivers is essential for troubleshooting, programming, and optimizing control systems in Extron environments.
