9 HDVI Firmware Update Procedure
To update the firmware on the HDVI you will need the following files:
hdvi_set_flash_mode.exe, HDVI_flash.exe, HDVI_update.bat
and the HDVI_096.bin firmware file.
9.1 Setup
1. Use only a PC running Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
2. All four files listed above should reside in the directory where the command prompt goes to
by default. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Open a Command Prompt Window and see
what directory is listed and copy all four files 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 monitor.
9.2 Update using the HDVI_update.bat batch file
We created the HDVI_update.bat batch file to simplify the firmware 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 flash mode. If the monitor does not lose its display, YOU
SHOULD NOT CONTINUE. Contact [e-mail].
4. Type "f HDVI_096.bin" (note the space after f) or any other bin file you are upgrading to
then hit Enter.
5. The upgrade process will start by erasing the existing flash 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.
