The RC system peripheral devices have device drivers that let them
communicate with computers. The device driver needs to be installed so that
the computer can recognize it and control it. The Kramer RC Configuration
software uses driver commands to control these peripheral devices.

all the required drivers:
• Kramer machines have drivers that are provided within the package

provided by the manufacturer or can be downloaded from the Internet
Download the required drivers, according to the instructions provided for each
driver, to a folder (for example, C:\Media-Room-1\Peripheral Device Drivers).
