Installing and Starting the Control Program
Another way to operate the switcher is via the Windows-based
Matrix Switchers Control Program. This program is contained on
the Extron Software Products DVD (included with the switcher).
Run this program on a PC connected to a serial port (
) on the switcher. The program must be
installed on a Windows-based computer and cannot be run from the
DVD.
NOTE: For details on operating the program, refer to the
“Matrix Software” section in the FOX Matrix 320x and
FOX Matrix 14400 User Guide.
Installing the Program
1.
Insert the DVD into the drive. The Extron software DVD window
should appear automatically.
NOTE: If the window does not open automatically, run
Launch.exe from the DVD.
2.
Click the Software tab.
3.
Scroll to the Matrix Switchers program and click Install.
4.
Follow the on-screen instructions. The installation program creates
a C:\Program Files\Extron\Matrix_Switchers directory and an
“Extron Electronics\Matrix Switchers” group folder. It installs the
following four programs:
•
MATRIX Switcher+ Control Program
•
MATRIX Switcher+ Help
•
Uninstall MATRIX Switcher
•
Check for Matrix Updates
NOTE: To run this program while your computer is connected to
a FOX Matrix 320x Configuration (USB) port, use version
8.0 or newer of the Matrix Switchers Control Program.
