Updating the firmware

The firmware upgrade utility provides a way to replace the firmware that is coded on the switcher’s control board without taking the switcher out of service, opening the switcher enclosure, and replacing the firmware chip.

NUpgrading the firmware does not overwrite the current configuration, presets, or the audio settings.

Update the switcher firmware as follows:

1.	Visit the Extron web site, www.extron.com, select the MVX switcher product
	category, select the latest firmware file for download, and copy it to your
	computer. Note the folder to which you save the firmware file.
2.	Start the Matrix Switchers Control Program and connect to the MVX switcher.
	See “Using the software” in this chapter, steps 1 through 3, starting on
	page 4-14.
3.	Click Tools > Update firmware. The Extron Firmware Loader appears
	(figure 4-11).
	a.	Click Upload. The Firmware Update window appears.
	b.	Click OK. The open file window appears.
