The Universal Switcher Control Program is compatible with Windows 3.1/3.11, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows ME, and Windows 2000 and 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 screen instructions.
