Optionally using the USB socket
If required, you can plug a USB peripheral, such as a mouse or keyboard, into
the spare USB socket on the converter. However, ensure that the peripheral
does not draw more current than 100mA, otherwise the operation of the
converter module could be affected.

The converter requires no drivers or special settings
to operate; simply plug and play.
Upgrade and reset modes
Note: When the converter is in upgrade mode, the video going through it is disabled, so you are recommended to connect it to a USB port on a different PC.
On the
side of the converter module, you will find a small hole and a recessed indicator. These are used to invoke special functions. Use a thin implement, such as a
straightened paperclip to press and hold the button concealed behind the smaller hole. Depending on when you release the button, the module will either
perform a normal reset, enter upgrade mode or completely reset itself to factory defaults:

The converter will report itself as a USB memory stick labelled ‘Firmware’. The upgrade file is a binary file that you drag and drop into the converter’s ‘Firmware’ entry
within your computer’s file manager; whereupon the file transfer process will commence. Once the file transfer has completed, the converter needs to be rebooted by either
pressing the reset button again to bring it out of upgrade mode or alternatively the USB lead can be disconnected and reconnected. The current firmware version can be
determined using our special app (a Windows app available for download from Black Box technical support).
