3.Choose an emulation file to open, and click OK. The file DEMO.MTX provides a sample of a completed matrix setup. Selecting the file NEW.INI or clicking on Cancel provides a blank setup to get you started.

4.Enter the file name under which you want to save any changes to the file, and click Ok.

5.Select the number of video boards, audio boards, and matrix model for which you are preparing a configuration, and click Ok.

Button-Label Generator

The Button Label Generator software creates labels that you can place in the translucent covers of the input select buttons. You can create labels with names, alphanumeric characters, or even color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. See appendix A, “Reference Information”, for the procedure for removing and replacing the translucent covers.

The Extron Button Label Generator is available on the Extron Web site, www.extron.com, under the Download Center tab. Click the Software link (figure 5-12), and download and install the program.

Figure 5-12 — Location of Software on the web site.

The Button Label Generator software is also included on the Extron Software

Products CD-ROM that accompanied the switcher.

By default, the Windows installation creates a C:\Program

Files\Extron\ButtonLabelGenerator directory and places the Button Label

Generator icon into a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.
