Windows-Based Program Control

The Universal Switcher Control Program, part #29-031-01, is compatible with
Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95/98, 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)

Front panel switch mode selection (autoswitching models)

Updates to this program can be downloaded from the Extron Web site
(http://www.extron.com).

The program is contained on two 3.5" diskette and must be installed and run from
the hard drive.

To install the software on the hard drive, run setup.exe from floppy disk #1 and
