Software maintenance
Firmware (fixture software) can be uploaded to one fixture or multiple fixtures of the same type using a
Martin Companion Cable hardware interface (see ‘Related Items’ on page 35) and a Windows PC running
the Martin Companion software application.
To carry out a firmware upload:
1. Download the latest version of the Martin Companion application from www.martin.com and install it
on a Windows PC.
2. Connect a Martin Companion Cable hardware interface to a USB port on the PC.
3. Connect the Martin Companion Cable to the DMX data link using an XLR connector or screw
terminals (see ‘Connecting the data link’ on page 17 for wire colors and pinouts).
4. Launch the Martin Companion application and wait for it to synchronize its firmware database with the
cloud to make sure that the latest firmware is available on your PC for upload to your fixtures. You
can check synchronization status in the
File Management tab.
5. In the Firmware -> Fixture Update pane, select the fixture type that you want to upload to and select
the firmware version that you want to upload.
6. Check that the fixtures that require a firmware update are powered on and connected to the DMX link.
7. Click on Update Firmware and allow the Martin Companion application to perform the upload.
