Extron electronics DTP CrossPoint 4K Series - Matrix Software

DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Matrix Software 85
Matrix Software
The DTP CrossPoint Matrix Switcher can be remotely controlled, monitored, or configured via:
• SIS commands (see Programming Guide on page 63)
• Built-in HTML pages (see HTML Pages on page 152)
• The following two Extron computer programs:
• Product Configuration Software
• DSP Configurator
This section details the two programs, both available at www.extron.com. The section
covers:
• Software Operational Considerations and Installation
• Product Configuration Software
• DSP Configurator Program
• Optimizing the Audio
The Windows-based Extron DSP Configurator program and Extron Product Configuration
Software (PCS) communicate with the switcher via the following ports:
• Rear panel LAN ports — Password-protected RJ-45 connections (see Software
Operation via Ethernet on the next page).
• Front Panel Configuration port — A non-password-protected USB mini-B port (see
Software Operation via USB Port on the next page).
Both programs are compatible with Windows XP, Service Pack 2, and later.
The Product Configuration Software manages basic functions such as:
• Video and audio matrix (making ties) • Test patterns
• Video input and output configuration • RS-232 insertion
• Scaler setup and picture controls • Line audio input level and output volume
• EDID management
The DSP Configurator software provides all of the tools and controls necessary for
configuring and controlling the advanced audio mixing and processing functions available in
the digital signal processor built into the switcher.
NOTE: The DSP Configurator has a software lock that protects the complex DSP
audio adjustments, making them unavailable for selection in PCS. This protects
the DSP settings against inadvertent changes made by the more basic PCS audio
adjustment capabilities.
This software lock can be overridden, but Extron STRONGLY advises against
doing so.
