3. Firmware Update

From time to time, Datavideo may release new firmware to either add new features or

to fix reported bugs in the current DAC-50S firmware. Customers can update the

firmware themselves if they wish or they can contact their local dealer or reseller for

assistance should they prefer this method.

This section describes the firmware update process. Once started,

the update process

should not be interrupted in any way

as this could result in a non-responsive unit.

Host Update

Set DIP SW8 to ON

Connect DAC-50S to the PC using a USB cable (DAC-50S is powered by the USB port

so external power source is not required)

A USB device connection prompt window will appear on the PC screen (DAC-50S

USB) and click “Open device to view files” to open the device.

Copy the new firmware file and paste it into the USB device to replace the existing

firmware file on the device.
