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.

NFor details on operating the program, refer to the MTPX User's Manual, chapter 5, “Matrix Software”.
