Specifications

To update the rmware on the HDVI you will need the following les:
hdvi_set_ash_mode.exe, HDVI_ash.exe, HDVI_update.bat and the HDVI_090.bin
rmware le.
Setup
1. Use only a PC running Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
2. All four les listed above should reside in the directory where the command
prompt goes to by default. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Open a Command Prompt Win-
dow and see what directory is listed and copy all four les into that same directory.
3. Connect COM-1 of your PC to the RS422 port of the HDVI using the RS422-
RS232 cable described in this document.
4. Connect your HDVI to a valid SDI source and monitor its output on a DVI moni-
tor.
Update using the HDVI_update.bat batch le
We created the HDVI_update.bat batch le to simplify the rmware update procedure.
1. Open a command prompt window.
2. Type HDVI_update and hit Enter (DO NOT RUN THE UPDATE BY DOUBLE
CLICKING ON THE HDVI_update.bat FILE)
3. Enter the COM port number and hit Enter. The monitor should lose its display
indicating that the HDVI has entered ash mode. If the monitor does not lose its display,
YOU SHOULD NOT CONTINUE. Contact [e-mail].
4. Type “f HDVI090.bin” (note the space after f) or any other bin le you are upgrad-
ing to then hit Enter.
5. The upgrade process will start by erasing the existing ash and installing the new
one. When done the unit will return a “---- DONE ----” message.
6. Type: “r” then hit Enter to reset the HDVI and quit the application.
It is important to type “r” to reset and quit, otherwise you have to disconnect power from
the HDVI and then connect it back.
