Appendix D Upgrading/Re-installing Casablanca III HD Software
The most dynamic parts of Casablanca III HD’s internal operating system and supporting files are stored in flash
memory and are therefore easily updateable via an IBM compatible PC.
To install new software into the Casablanca III HD, first the “Downloader” software must be installed on a local PC.
Instructions for this installation are included with the CD ROM. This software is referred to as Theta Digital
Downloader (TDD) x.xx, where x.xx is the version number. The latest version of TDD as well as the latest CB3
Flash files themselves are available from Theta Digital, through a Theta Digital authorized dealer or on the Theta
website (
www.thetadigital.com ) in the Library/Downloads section.
When TDD “connects”, it will take over control of the Casablanca III HD. When updating it will read and store the
internal hardware configuration and user settings and then update and/or overwrite the flash files on every board. It
will then restore the hardware configuration parameters that were set at the factory as well as the user settings.
TDD can also save all user settings to the hard drive of a PC. This is a highly recommended procedure to do,
immediately after setting up the Casablanca III HD for the first time, prior to updating the software, or when making
changes to the user settings.
When TDD is installed onto the PC, a PDF file entitled “Guide to Using TDD” is copied to the hard drive. This
document covers the detailed information required to use TDD in all of its modes. It is recommended that this
document be read through in its entirety before using TDD.
Appendix E Re-installing Casablanca III Settings
Do not attempt to restore settings from a previous generation of the Theta Casablanca to the Casablanca III HD
using Crystal or any other program.
The operating system of the Casablanca III HD is not compatible with this program. Attempts to restore old
settings will result in severe software corruption that will disable the Casablanca III HD and may require
reinstallation of the operating system at the factory.
Such reinstallation is not covered under Theta’s warranty.
Individual settings from a Casablanca III should be copied manually to a notepad or other document and then
restored manually using the setup instructions in this manual.
