Using the Matrox MicroQuad Remote Control Panel
Using the Matrox MicroQuad Remote Control
Panel
Matrox MicroQuad has an optional Remote Control Panel for controlling the
Matrox MicroQuad unit remotely. To install the Matrox MicroQuad Remote
Control Panel, see “Installing your Matrox MicroQuad software” on page 2. The
Matrox MicroQuad Remote Control Panel is accessed through the Mini USB
Type B port on the Matrox MicroQuad unit, and lets you control many functions
on the Matrox MicroQuad unit, such as to switch from quadrant view to full
screen view, select the audio channels for the VU meters and HDMI output, and
lock the audio to input channel 1 (SDI 1).
Instead of using the Matrox MicroQuad Remote Control Panel to perform certain
functions, you can use the Matrox MicroQuad buttons and the DIP switches on
the Matrox MicroQuad unit (see “Using the Matrox MicroQuad buttons” on
page 14 and “Setting the Matrox MicroQuad DIP switches” on page 15).
¦NoteTo indicate whether or not your video input sources are PsF, you must
use the DIP switches on the Matrox MicroQuad unit (see “Setting the Matrox
MicroQuad DIP switches” on page 15).
°To use the Matrox MicroQuad Remote Control Panel:
1 Make sure that power is supplied to the Matrox MicroQuad unit (see
“Powering Matrox MicroQuad” on page 6), and that you have an HDMI
output display device and at least one SDI input source connected to the
Matrox MicroQuad unit (see “Connecting input and output devices” on
page 8).
2 Connect a third-party USB cable from Matrox MicroQuad’s USB port to
your computer’s USB port.
¦NoteIf your computer does not have a USB port, or if it has a different type
of USB port, you can use a compatible USB adapter/cable.
