DirectShow
If you change the link ordering after installation, you must run dplinks.exe. This program will update the existing
input names used by the windows DirectShow interface.
To run the dplinks program, click on Start/Run and type dplinks, and then press Enter.
The program will run, but no notifications are displayed.
8.5.7 Firmware Upgrades
The VCC-DP-2 cards allow firmware upgrade to be completed on site rather than returning the card to Black Box.
Whenever a firmware upgrade is performed, the SW2 on the DIP switch must be set ON. The DIP Switch can be
located on the back of the VCC-DP-2. To perform the upgrade, follow the step-by-step instructions provided by
the upgrade application. The VCC-DP-2 is shipped with the SW2 switch set at on, so no action is necessary.
If something goes wrong during the upgrade process (e.g. System power outage), you can revert to the factory
settings by powering down the system, temporarily setting SW2 to the OFF position, then powering up the
system. Once the system reboots, set the SW2 back to the ON position (while the system is still powered up) and
restart the firmware upgrade process.
NOTE: The latest driver installation program includes an automatic firmware update, if required. Before installing
the application and driver, make sure that SW2 is set to on.
