Optionally using the USB socket
If required, you can plug a USB peripheral, such as a mouse or keyboard, into
the spare USB socket on the DVA. However, ensure that the peripheral does
not draw more current than 100mA, otherwise the operation of the DVA
module could be affected.
From USB
peripheral
The Adder DVA requires no drivers or special
settings to operate; simply plug and play.
Upgrade and reset modes
Note: When the DVA is in upgrade mode, the video going through it is disabled, so you are recommended to connect it to a USB port on a different PC.
On the side of
the DVA module, you will find a small hole and a recessed indicator. These are used to invoke special functions. Use a thin implement, such as a straightened
paperclip to press and hold the button concealed behind the smaller hole. Depending on when you release the button, the module will either perform a
normal reset, enter upgrade mode or completely reset itself to factory defaults:

Normal reset
The DVA will report itself as a USB memory stick labelled ‘Firmware’. The upgrade file is a binary file that you drag and drop into the DVA’s ‘Firmware’ entry within your
computer’s file manager; whereupon the file transfer process will commence. Once the file transfer has completed, the DVA needs to be rebooted by either pressing the
reset button again to bring it out of upgrade mode or alternatively the USB lead can be disconnected and reconnected. The current firmware version can be determined using
the Adder VCP app (a Windows app available for download from www.adder.com).
