Matrix Software | Extron electronic MVX 128 specification

Matrix Software

Two software programs accompany the MVX 128 A switcher:

•The Extron Matrix Switcher Control Program, which communicates with the switcher via the RS-232/RS-422 port, provides an easy way to set up ties and sets of ties.

•The Extron Button-Label Generator, which allows you to design and print labels for the MVX 128 A front panel buttons.

Both programs are compatible with Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Updates to these programs can be downloaded from the Extron Web site (http://www.extron.com).

Matrix Switchers Control Program

Installing the software

The program is contained on a CD-ROM and available on the Extron Web site: www.extron.com. Load and run the program from the hard drive.

To install the program from the CD-ROM to the hard drive, run Setup.exe from the CD-ROM and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The program occupies approximately 1 MB (megabyte) of hard-drive space.

By default, the Windows installation creates a C:\MTRX50 directory and places two icons (MATRIX Switcher+ Control Program and MATRIX Switcher+ Help) into a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.

NThe program was designed to control most Extron matrix switchers, but its operation is limited to the features and conﬁguration of your switcher.

NThe MVX 128 A switcher can support either RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication protocol, and operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates. See Selecting the RS-232/RS-422 protocol and baud rate on page 3-33, to conﬁgure the RS-232/RS-422 port from the front panel.
