User Guide Manual

HDXP Plus Series Switchers • Matrix Software 89

• Frequency-read options — Provides a submenu that allows you to set the input

signal detection (DSVP) feature to do one of the following:

• Automatically refresh the display (set this option to Automatically every

10 seconds).

• Sample the sync and update the display whenever you make a configuration

change (set this option to On Demand or by Refresh).

• Never sample and display the sync or no sync status (set this option to None).

• Limit ties to same group — Allows you to create ties only between inputs and

outputs that are in the same group (similar to front panel operation).

• Icons in I/O boxes — Displays icons that you place in the I/O boxes in

the Matrix window (see figure 86 on the previous page).

• Numbers in I/O boxes — Displays the input and output numbers in the I/O

boxes in the Matrix window (see the figure 87 on the previous page). You

are not able to place icons in the boxes when this option is selected.

• Catch FPC/other’s Changes — When checked, sets the switcher to report all

configuration and setting changes to the Remote RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet

connection that enabled this selection. These reports allow the Matrix Switcher

Control Program to track the changes that occur in the switcher configuration and

settings, whether commanded via the front panel, the RS232/RS422 port, or the

Ethernet port.

Master-Reset selection

Master-Reset clears all ties and presets, all output mutes, and all I/O grouping.

NOTE: Master-Reset does not reset the Internet protocol (IP) settings.

Using Emulation Mode

Emulation mode allows you to set up the software without attaching the switcher to the

computer. In emulation mode, you can emulate any matrix switcher that is supported by

the Matrix Switcher Control Program; you are not limited to the HDXP.

To use emulation mode, do the following:

1. Double-click the MATRIX Switchers + Control Program icon in the Extron

Electronics group or folder.

2. On the Comm Port Selection window, select Emulate, and click OK.
