Installing and Starting the Control Program
Another way to operate the switcher, to set the skew
adjustments, the level and peaking, and the output pre-peaking
(see "Optimizing the video", beginning on page 4-17), is via
the Windows
®
-based Matrix Switchers Control Program. This
program is contained on the Extron Software Products CD-ROM
(included with the switcher). Run this program on a PC
connected to either of the switcher’s serial ports or the Ethernet
port. See
i
,
j
, and
l
, on pages 2-5 and 2-6, for connection
information. The program must be installed on a Windows-
based computer and cannot be run from the CD-ROM.
N
For details on operating the program, refer to the
MTPX Plus User's Manual, chapter 5, “Matrix
Software”.
Installing the program
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive. The installation
program should start automatically.
The Extron software CD window appears.
N
If the installation program does not self-start, run
Launch.exe from the CD.
2. Click the Software tab.
3. Scroll to the Matrix Switchers program and click
Install.
