Installing Matrox VS4 software
Matrox Mtx.utils Setup installs the VS4 device drivers and VS4 software. If you
plan on using VS4 with a Matrox Convert DVI product, Matrox Mtx.utils Setup
gives you the option of installing the Convert DVI software as well. If you want
to use StudioCoast vMix with VS4, you must choose to install the Matrox A/V
DirectShow Filters. For more information on using VS4 with StudioCoast vMix,
see Chapter 6, “Using Matrox VS4 with StudioCoast vMix,” on page 79.
Before installing Matrox Mtx.utils, make sure that all supported third-party
applications that you want to use with VS4, such as Telestream Wirecast, are
installed. You can install Matrox Mtx.utils on a computer with or without the
Matrox VS4 card installed.
To download and install the latest version of Matrox Mtx.utils, visit the Support
section of our website at www.matrox.com/video/support. You can also contact
your Matrox representative for the latest software.
Updating your VS4 firmware
When you install Mtx.utils while your VS4 card is installed in your computer, the
Mtx.utils Setup program automatically verifies the firmware on your VS4 card
and updates it if required. If you install Mtx.utils on a computer without the VS4
card, the next time you start your computer with your VS4 card installed,
Mtx.utils Setup will update your VS4 firmware if needed.
²Caution Do not power off your computer, or interrupt the firmware update
during the update process. Doing so may damage your VS4 card.
Important note about sleep and hibernation
modes
Your system’s sleep and hibernation modes are not supported by the Matrox
Mtx.utils software. To avoid stability issues, disable sleep and hibernation modes
on your system after installing Matrox Mtx.utils.
