Using the PRO X updater
This section shows you how to update your PRO X Live Audio System. However, before you begin there are a few things you will need and some things you must do.
What you will need
Before you begin, check that you have the following:
• USB memory stick The USB memory stick (ash drive) must have enough memory to store any shows that you will need to backup, plus an additional 150MB of
memory for the update package (that is, the le with a .tar extension). It should also preferably be of USB 2.0 specication.
• Stable mains supply If the power drops at a critical point during the update, it is possible — although unlikely — that this could cause some of the system
components not to function. A warning window opens before you start the update procedure to remind you of this.
Preparation
Before you begin, do the following:
• Backup your shows It is likely that any shows will be erased when you power cycle the PRO X Control Centre following an update. We therefore recommend that
you backup your shows onto the USB memory stick (see “Saving your show les to a USB memory stick” in chapter 9), and then copy them onto a PC. You will be
given the chance to do this during the update procedure, just before the update begins.
• Check that everything is connected Make sure that everything on the system is correctly connected, congured and functioning properly. Do this by checking
the Diagnostics screen (see “Diagnostics” in Appendix G).
• Switch o speakers During the update procedure the DSP and AES routing may perform a number of resets during which the audio may not be in a controlled
state. We therefore recommend that you switch o any speakers connected to the system.
• Make sure you have enough time The update procedure may take quite a while to complete, so make sure you have enough time before you start; a warning
window during the update procedure will remind you of this. We do not recommend carrying out an update just before a performance.
• Congure the USB memory stick Create a folder at the top level (root directory) of your USB memory stick called “DL3Upgrades”. Then, copy the latest update
le (DL3xxx.tar) into it. NOTE: The folder is case sensitive and must be created as stated, “DL3Upgrades.
