GROUNDCONTROL™ REMOTE FOLLOWSPOT SYSTEM™ USER MANUAL
Software Crossload
The Information menu provides a method for sending the current GC Followspot Controller software to any connected
Controllers. Controllers can be daisy-chained using the DMX512 ports located on the Control Arm interface panel.
Note:
At the last Controller in the chain, install a male termination connector at the DMX OUT connector.
Figure 28: Example Daisy-Chain Configuration
To initiate the software crossload, press
Crossload Software
at the Information menu. At confirmation menu, press
"Yes." If a connected Controller already has that software version, it will do nothing. If it does not have the same
version, it will go into the boot screen and start updating.
Note:
There should be no active control during the update process.
