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 4-12), 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. See h and j ,
on page 2-5, 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 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
.
4 . Follow the on-screen instructions. The installation
program creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\

Matrix Switchers” group folder. It installs the following
four programs:
•
MATRIX Switcher+ Control Program
• MATRIX Switcher+ Help
• Uninstall MATRIX Switcher

Starting the program
1. Click Start > Programs > Extron Electronics > Matrix
Switchers

switcher.
N Although IP [LAN] is available for selection, the switcher
does not have an Ethernet port. Do not select IP [LAN].
N Check the baud rate displayed in the
comm port selection window. If you
need to change the baud rate, click
the Baud button and double-click the
desired baud rate.
