Note:

•Copy the upgrade file to the root level of the USB drive. Do not copy the upgrade file into a folder.

•Upgrades can take several minutes to complete.

Do not turn the switcher power off during the upgrade.

•If CRITICAL UPGRADE is displayed, the switcher is performing an upgrade that includes low-level software components. This does not indicate a problem with your switcher.

Completing a Software Upgrade

When the software upgrade is complete, the menu displays a message indicating the software upgrade was successful, the Upgrade LED on the rear of the switcher turns off, and the switcher performs an automatic restart.

Once the switcher restarts, it is ready to use. You can safely remove the USB drive.

Note:

•If you are upgrading a switcher as a result of a corrupt configuration or a previously failed upgrade, you may need to reconfigure the network address and reload switcher memories.

Advanced Keying

Keys can be modified to give them more distinct qualities and personalize your images.

Modifying Keys

All key types have the following parameters that can be modified:

•Transparency

•Mask

The Transparency function allows you to adjust the transparency of the key from completely opaque to completely transparent. As the level of transparency is adjusted, the graphic in the menu changes to represent the current percentage of transparency.

A mask is a keying technique in which a pattern is combined with the key source to block out unwanted portions of the key source. Mask modifiers are:

•Force (M-Frce) — forces the area inside the mask region to the foreground.

•Invert (M-Inv) — reverses the polarity of the mask.
