Chapter 6, Installing Your Matrox Axio Software
Installing additional Matrox WYSIWYG plug-ins
or removing unneeded plug-ins
When you install Matrox Axio.utils, you are prompted to install the Matrox
WYSIWYG plug-ins for any supported programs that are currently installed on
your system. If after you’ve installed Matrox Axio.utils you want to install
additional Matrox WYSIWYG plug-ins, or re-install or remove a currently
installed plug-in, you can run the Matrox WYSIWYG Plug-ins Setup program by
choosing
Install Matrox WYSIWYG Plug-ins from the Matrox Axio menu.
You’ll be prompted to specify which plug-ins you want to install, re-install, or
remove. For more information about the programs supported and required
settings, see “Using the Matrox WYSIWYG Plug-ins” on page 239.
¦NoteTo install the Matrox WYSIWYG plug-in for a program, you must first
install that program.
Installing the Matrox VFW software codecs on
a system without the Axio hardware
The Matrox VFW software codecs let you render (compile) and play back
Axio- compatible .avi files in your Video for Windows programs without having
the Matrox Axio hardware installed in your computer.
Remarks
• If you have the Matrox Axio hardware, you do not need to install the VFW
software codecs because Matrox Axio.utils installs all the required Matrox
codecs on your system.
• If you have a previous version of the Matrox VFW software codecs that was
provided with another Matrox product (such as Matrox DigiSuite or Matrox
RT.X100), you must remove those codecs from your computer using
Add or
Remove Programs
in Windows Control Panel before installing the VFW
software codecs provided with Matrox Axio.
°To install the Matrox VFW software codecs:
1 From the Matrox Axio menu, choose Install Matrox VFW software
codecs
.
2 Follow the onscreen instructions. An information box indicates when the
installation is complete.
