DirectShow
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 XtremeRGB-Ex8 card allows firmware upgrades to be completed on site rather than returning the
card to EMS. Whenever a firmware upgrade is performed,
LK4 MUST BE FITTED on the XtremeRGB-
Ex8
. 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 LK4
then powering up the system with the link removed. Once the system has rebooted, replace the LK4 link
(whilst the system is powered up) and restart the firmware upgrade process.
It should be noted that the driver installation program (Version 01.07.00 and above) includes an automatic
firmware
update, if required. Therefore, prior to installing the application and driver, ensure that LK4 is
fitted.
