Matrix Switchers Control Program
The Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program accompanies the MVX Series VGA
switchers. The program, which communicates with the switcher via the RS-232
port, provides an easy way for you to set up ties and sets of ties.
The program is compatible with Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows ME,
Windows 2000, and Windows XP. 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 set of 3.5-inch diskettes. Install the program and run
it from the hard drive.
To install the program from the floppy disk to the hard drive, run Setup.exe from
the floppy disk and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The program
occupies approximately 3 MB (megabytes) 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.”
The program was designed to control most Extron matrix switchers, but its
operation is limited to the features and configuration of your MVX Series
VGA switcher.
