Using the Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP)

The Windows-based Extron Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP) offers an alternative way to control the DVS 510 Series via an RS-232, RS-422, or Ethernet connection. The graphical user interface includes the same functions as those on the scaler front panel with additional features that are available only through the software.

The control software is compatible with Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 7. The Signal Processing Products Control Program is on the included Extron Software DVD, and updates can be downloaded from the Extron website (http://www.extron.com).

NOTE: The control program requires approximately 32 MB of hard disk space.

Installing the Software

The SPPCP software can be installed onto the hard drive of a connected PC either directly from the supplied DVD, or downloaded from the Extron website.
