power to the fixtures and the MP-2. Wait a few moments for the fixtures to
reset.

3 Use the buttons on the right to scroll through the card slots. Select the slot
that holds the desired version of the Imager firmware.
4 Select Update Software . Select Yes to confirm.
5 Select Update in DMX mode to start the upload. The MP-2 initializes all
connected Imagers.
6 After a successful upload the fixtures reset with the new software. If an error
occurs and the fixtures do not reset, data was interrupted or corrupted
during transmission. Perform a boot mode upload as described in the
following section.
Boot sector upload
If the normal upload procedure does not work, or if the software update
notes call for a boot sector update. Boot sector update mode needs to be
set either in the control menu, or by moving a jumper on the PCB in the
