Setting up the Annotator to Work with a Matrix Switcher

The Sync to Matrix tool is a powerful tool which can simplify the control system necessary
when using an Extron matrix switcher and an Annotator.
The “Sync to Matrix” script can sense when a new tie that is made on the matrix is routed
to the Annotator and automatically recalls the input preset associated with the input on
the matrix switcher. The input preset recalls all the settings for the input including the
signal format, input sampling settings, and picture controls.
