SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software
About the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software
The SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software provides an intuitive, easy to operate,
graphical user interface that allows the user to configure the audio system quickly
and efficiently. It provides more options than the front panel. The options are
automatically updated in real time so that, as selections are made, only the
options that are currently available to the SSP 7.1 can be accessed. Extron strongly
recommends using the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software for all configuration.
The program comes on a disk, supplied with the unit, or it can be downloaded, free
of charge, from the Extron Web site (www.extron.com).
