Updating the Firmware

The firmware upgrade utility provides a way to replace the firmware that is coded on the control board of the switcher without taking the switcher out of service.

NOTE: Upgrading the firmware does not overwrite the current configuration,

presets, or the audio settings.

Update the switcher firmware as follows:

1.Visit the Extron website, www.extron.com, click the Download tab, and then click the Firmware link (see figure 56).
