3) Muting takes place in real time as the Mute buttons are pressed. Status There are two ways to view the status of the MatrixPRO. For both operations, ensure the MatrixPRO is in the desired A/V mode. To manually see which Input is associated with an Output, press and release the Output key. The current Input assigned to the Output will be illuminated. -
Page 20: Adjusting Input Audio Levels
The Audio level is controlled by the Up and Down buttons. To change the volume level, select an Output that is routed to the desired Input to be changed. Press the Up or Down button to change the level. If the MatrixPro is in Video only mode, Audio volume levels cannot be adjusted. - Page 21 The default install directory is C:\Folsom Research\MatrixPRO\MPControl.

MatrixPRO can still be controlled via RS-232, RS-485 or the Front Panel while being controlled over Ethernet. Press 'Update Status' as necessary to find the current status of the MatrixPRO if the unit is control by other sources. Also note, if an operation such as a routing is not completed by using a Take command via the Front Panel or by serial command, the GUI can fall into an unknown state and operation may become unreliable. -

To save a Preset, press Save then select one of the 16 memory buttons. To Recall a Preset, press recall then one of the 16 memory buttons. If the MatrixPRO is operated for the front panel or serially, the configuration of the MatrixPRO can be checked by pressing the Read from MatrixPRO button. To unroute all, press the Clear All Routing button. - Page 25 Volume is controlled real time. The volume setting can be controlled by moving the slider for quick changes or by pressing the up and down buttons to set the audio level 1dB at a time. If audio is not install in the MatrixPRO this page is inoperable.
- Page 26 Grouping Tab Grouping allows multiple inputs and outputs to be segregated together. This allows dividing of the MatrixPRO so that different source types can be linked only to compatible destinations. Output groups can also be formed. Output groups allow multiple Outputs to be controlled together so routing one forces the other in the group to be routed to the same input.
- Page 27 Interval Switching mode, and Resetting the MatrixPRO. To set the IP address, the MP Control GUI needs to be communicating with the MatrixPRO via RS-232. Once the IP address is set then the GUI can be switched to Ethernet mode and communications conducted via Ethernet LAN communication.
- Page 28 About Tab This tab tells the Version of the GUI and Main code of the MatrixPRO. It also gives the user a means of communication with the MatrixPRO via command line via RS-232. The page gives information as to which comm port that the GUI is communicating via RS-232.
