5. Firmware Update Procedure
From time to time Datavideo may release new firmware to either add new features or to fix
reported bugs in the current MCU-100P 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.

the update process should not be interrupted in any way
as
this could result in a non-responsive unit.
