Windows-based control program

The Universal Switcher Control Program is compatible with Windows 3.1/3.11 and later. It provides remote control of the input selection for each output (including audio breakaway) and audio gain and attenuation adjustments.

Updates to this program can be downloaded from the Extron Web site (http://www.extron.com).

Installing the software

The program is contained on a single 3.5" diskette and can be run from the floppy drive, or it can be installed and run from the hard drive. To install the software on the hard drive, run SETUP.EXE from the floppy disk and follow the on-screen instructions.

By default, the Windows installation creates a C:\UNIVSW folder and places two icons (Universal Switcher Control Program and Universal Switcher Help) into a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.

Double-click the Universal Switcher
