Firmware Upgrade
Datavideo usually releases new firmware containing new features or reported bug fixes from time to
time. Customers can either download the HS-1500T firmware as they wish or contact their local dealer
or reseller for assistance.
This section outlines the firmware upgrade process which should take
approximately 10 minutes to
complete
. The existing HS-1500T settings should persist through the
firmware upgrade process, which
should not be interrupted once started
as this could result in a non-responsive unit.
Successful firmware upgrade on HS-1500T requires:
HS-1500T x 1
48V Power adapter x 1
USB thumb drive x 1
USB Cable x 1
