Windows®-Based Control Program
The Windows®-based Extron Universal Switcher Control Program, which
communicates with the switcher via the rear panel Remote RS-232 port, provides
an easy way to set up ties and sets of ties. The program is compatible with
Windows 2000 and Windows XP and above, and provides remote control of the
following:
• Input selection (including audio breakaway for models with video and audio)
• Audio gain and attenuation adjustments (audio models)
Updates to this program can be downloaded from the Extron Web site
(http://www.extron.com).
Installing the software
The program is contained on the Extron Software Products CD-ROM. Install the
software as follows:
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive. The installation program should start
automatically. If it does not self-start, run Launch.exe from the CD.
The Extron software CD window appears (figure 4-2).
