Using emulation mode | Extron electronic MVX PLUS 128 specification

Master-Reset selection

Master reset clears all ties and presets, all video and audio mutes, resets all I/O grouping, sets all input audio levels to unity gain (+0 dB), and sets all output volume levels to 100% (0 dB of attenuation).

NMaster reset does not reset the Internet protocol (IP) settings.

Using emulation mode

Emulation mode allows you to set up the software without attaching the switcher to the computer. To use emulation mode, do the following:

1.Double-click the MATRIX Switchers+ Control Program icon in the Extron Electronics group or folder.

2.Choose Emulate, and click OK.

3.Choose an emulation ﬁle to open, and click on OK. The ﬁle DEMO.MTX provides a sample of a completed matrix setup. Selecting the ﬁle NEW.INI or clicking Cancel provides a blank setup to get you started.

4.Enter the ﬁle name under which you want to save any changes to the ﬁle, and click OK.

5.Select the number of video boards, audio boards, and matrix model for which you are preparing a conﬁguration, and click OK.

6.Continue using the program as described on page 5-6.
