Firmware update procedure
From time to time Datavideo may release new firmware to either add new features or to fix reported bugs in
the current MCU-100S firmware. Customers can update the firmware themselves if they wish or they can
contact their local dealer or reseller for assistance should they prefer this method.
This page describes the firmware update process and it should take
approximately 20 minutes total time
to complete
.
Once started
the update process should not be interrupted in any way
as this could result in a non-
responsive unit.
As well as a working MCU-100S you will need:
The latest firmware update for the
AD-1S
units
and
the
MCU-100S
.
USB 2.0 cable with a USB A type connector and Micro USB connector.
A Windows Vista or 7 computers with USB 2.0 port.
Note:
It is best to update the firmware of the
AD-1S
unit(s) at the same time as the
MCU-100S
.
