Setting up the DVS to Work with a Matrix Switcher
The Sync to Matrix tool is a powerful tool that can simplify the control system necessary when using an Extron matrix switcher and a DVS 304.
The Sync to Matrix script can sense when a new tie is made on the matrix is routed to the DVS and automatically recalls the input preset associated with the input on the matrix switcher. The input preset recalls all the settings for the input including the signal format, input sampling settings, and picture controls.
