Installing and Starting the Control Program
Another way to operate the switcher is via the Windows ® -based
Matrix Switchers Control Program. This program is contained
on the Extron Software Products DVD (included with the
switcher). Run this program on a PC connected to either of the
switcher’s serial ports. See f (page 2-3) and h (page 2-4), for
connection information.The program must be installed on a
Windows-based computer and cannot be run from the DVD.
N For details on operating the program, refer to the
MVX VGA A Switcher User's Manual, chapter 5,
“Matrix Software” .
Installing the program
1 . Insert the disk into the drive. The Extron software DVD
window should appear automatically.
N If the window does not self-start, run Launch.exe from the
DVD.
2 . Click the Software tab.
3 . Scroll to the Matrix Switchers program and click Install.
