Installing and Starting the Control Program

Another way to operate the switcher is via the Windows-based

Matrix Switchers Control Program. This program is contained on

the Extron Software Products DVD (included with the switcher).

Run this program on a PC connected to a serial port (item

and

) or Ethernet port (item

) on the switcher. The program must be

installed on a Windows-based computer and cannot be run from the

DVD.

NOTE: For details on operating the program, refer to the

“Matrix Software” section in the FOX Matrix 320x and

FOX Matrix 14400 User Guide.

Installing the Program

1. Insert the DVD into the drive. The Extron software DVD window

should appear automatically.

NOTE: If the window does not open automatically, run

Launch.exe from the DVD.

2. Click the Software tab.

3. Scroll to the Matrix Switchers program and click Install.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions. The installation program creates

a C:\Program Files\Extron\Matrix_Switchers directory and an

“Extron Electronics\Matrix Switchers” group folder. It installs the

following four programs:

• MATRIX Switcher+ Control Program

• MATRIX Switcher+ Help

• Uninstall MATRIX Switcher

• Check for Matrix Updates

NOTE: To run this program while your computer is connected to

a FOX Matrix 320x Conﬁguration (USB) port, use version

8.0 or newer of the Matrix Switchers Control Program.
