7. At this time the Model 43D is function-
ing with the newly-loaded application
firmware and the USB flash drive can
be removed. But to be conservative,
remove power first and then remove
the USB flash drive.
8. Apply power to the Model 43D and
“read” the application firmware version
number by observing the output 2 level
meters. Ensure that this is the desired
version and that it’s different from that
noted in step 2.
Note that upon power being applied to the
Model 43D if the USB flash drive doesn’t
have the correct file (M43D.bin) in the root
folder no harm will occur. Upon power up
the USB LED will flash on and off rapidly
for a few seconds to indicate that a valid
file was not found and then normal opera-
tion using the unit’s existing application
firmware will begin.
Ultimo Firmware Update
As previously discussed in this guide,
the Model 43D implements Dante con-
nectivity using the 4-input/4-output Ultimo
integrated circuit from Audinate. The
Dante Controller software application can
be used to determine the version of the
firmware (embedded software) residing
in the Ultimo “chip.” This firmware can be
updated by way of the Model 43D’s Ether-
net connection. The latest Dante firmware
file is available on the Studio Technolo-
gies website. The Dante Firmware Update
Manager application is used to install the
firmware. This program is also available
for download on the Studio Technologies
website.
