Upgrading Firmware 

Important Notes Prior to Upgrade

 

VITEC periodically releases new firmware versions that include critical updates as well as feature 
enhancements. 

MGW Diamond Encoder firmware and software upgrade process involves uploading a "firmware 
file" from within the unit HTTPS user interface, allowing the unit to extract the required files and 
perform internal updates. Uploading time of the "firmware file" may vary from one computer to 
another. It also depends on network speed and the connection's quality between the computer 
and the MGW Diamond Encoder appliance. 

To verify if the upgrade had finished, observe the physical power LED on the appliance's front 
panel - blinking LED indicates that the upgrade is still ongoing. A solid LED indicates that the 
upgrade is completed and the appliance is ready for re-login. Log on using a new browser tab. 

Read carefully the step-by-step procedure below and pay extra attention to notes and warnings. 

To upgrade MGW Diamond Encoder Firmware version: 

1.

 

Send VITEC your firmware upgrade request. 

2.

 

Before starting the upgrade procedure, disconnect all video and audio sources. Only power 
and Ethernet cables should remain connected. 

3.

 

Delete all saved configurations, including auto start configurations (refer to 

The 

Configurations Page

 (on page 52) for detailed instructions).
