MIB File Download: The BRD provides an up-to-date copy of its MIBs. If you click

computer. This zip file contains the card MIBs, as well as the Ross Video and

can be updated at will. Since the card offers two upgrade images, it is always possible to fall
back to the previous image if there are any problems with the current one. The card will also
automatically fall back to the factory image if it detects a corrupted firmware image. Finally, the
push buttons on the front of the card allow for a forced override to the factory image, as
described in the Front Switches section.

accept a firmware upgrade if the corresponding DSP image is already loaded in the unit; if
Niagara Video releases a new DSP image, it must be loaded first. DSP images are automatically

GOSTREAM BRD version.
