Input and output label windows — These translucent panels can be removed
and replaced to insert labels behind the panels. To remove a panel, insert the
Phillips-head end of a Tweeker or a small Phillips-head screwdriver into the
hole in one end of the panel, and gently slide the tab at the edge of the panel
out of the recess in the switcher housing.
Input and output labels can be created easily with Extron’s button label
generator software, which ships with every Extron matrix switcher, or with
any Brother P-Touch labeler. Each input and output can be labeled with
names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input
and output selection (figure 3-3). See chapter 5, “Matrix Software”, for details
on using the label software.
