Update Firmware
The Update Firmware option opens the Extron Firmware Loader application. This
application is used to upload new firmware to the connected device (see Downloading
FIrmware on page 43 to download new firmware).
NOTE: In order for the Update Firmware option to work, install the Firmware Loader
application (see Downloading Extron Firmware Loader on page 41). Otherwise, the
