Uploading HTML Files
You can create customized HTML pages for the switcher to display. The HTML Files List
window (see figure 27), accessible via the Tools menu, provides a way to view the contents
of the file system of the switcher and upload custom HTML pages to the switcher.

NOTES:
• The files listed in figure 27 are shown for example only and may not be present on
your switcher.
• The HTML Files List window is for inserting your own HTML pages. This is not the
window to replace the firmware that controls all switcher operation. See Updating
Firmware, on page 47, to replace the firmware.
• The HTML language reserves certain characters for specific functions (see Special
Characters on page 35).
1. Connect the PC to the matrix switcher via any of the serial ports or the Ethernet port of

minutes.
