Updater
version
information
Shows you the PRO X host software version that the system will be updated to.
8 Device block See Table 23 below.
9 Status bar
This green bar shows the progress of the current task in the update procedure, as indicated by the text
immediately above.
10 Device area This area contains device blocks that each represent an item of equipment in the PRO Series Live Audio System.
11
Unit Status
window
This window, which opens when you move the pointer over a device, gives you detailed information on the
device’s update progress.
12 Text Window name followed by device update status information.
13 Text Detailed le information and installation status.
14 Text Shows the build that the device will be updated to.
Each device block on the updater screen represents a possible or actual device connected in the system. The number inside the device block is the device’s ID, and the
colour of each device block indicates its update status. The following table explains what each device block condition represents.
Table 23: Description of the updater screen device blocks
Device block Description
Grey background — appears during the updater’s ‘triggering upgrade client’ procedure. If its appearance doesn’t change
throughout the update procedure, either there is no device connected in this position or one has not been detected.
Blue background without roundel — appears after the updater’s ‘triggering upgrade client’ procedure has nished to show you that
there is a device connected in this position.
Dark blue background with roundel — appears after this device has been selected for update.
Gold background with roundel — this device is currently being updated.
Green background — this device has successfully been updated.
Red background — this device’s update has failed.
This is an I/O device block, which has the unit type at the top.
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 specication.
• 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, congured 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.
• Congure 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”.
