If you change the link ordering after installation you must run dplinks.exe. This program will update the 
existing input names used by the Windows® DirectShow interface.

 

 

To run the dplinks program open the 

Run 

by clicking on 

Start/Run 

and type dplinks and then press Enter. 

The program will run, however no notifications are displayed.

 

Firmware Upgrades

 

The Xtreme-HD4 cards allow 

firmware

 upgrade to be completed on site rather than returning the card to 

EMS.  Whenever a 

firmware

 upgrade is performed, the J1 Link 

MUST BE FITTED on the 

Xtreme-HD4. To 

perform the upgrade, follow the step-by-step instructions provided by the upgrade application.

 

 

In the unlikely event that something goes wrong during the upgrade process (e.g. System power outage) it 
is possible to revert to the factory settings by powering down the system, temporarily removing the J1 link 
then powering up the system with the link removed.  Once the system has rebooted, replace the J1 link  
link (whilst the system is powered up) and restart the 

firmware

 upgrade process.

 

 

It should be noted that the latest driver installation program includes an automatic 

firmware

 update, if 

required.  Therefore, prior to installing the application and driver, ensure that J1 link is 

fitted.
