‍UPDATE PROCESS

All Fixtures need 2 updates. One after the other.

Via D3Prog / RS485/ DMX

As these files are very big you have to change the DProg type with the PA Application to the 4-storage -version. (Prog.Update > Set DProg type > Number of files = 4).

The transfer of the bootloader from PC to the programmer takes about 3 minutes. The transfer of the main software from PC to programmer takes about 10 - 15 minutes.

1. Update the Main Bootloader V1.4.3 package via DMX/RS485 via D3Prog (impression-X5_1.4.3_BOOTDMX.bin)
2. Update the Main Application V1.4.3 package via DMX/RS485 via D3Prog (impression-X5_1.4.3_DMX.bin)

Please make sure that no other DMX receivers or consoles are active on the line and fixtures Control Protocol is set to DMX and not to loose power during the complete update process!

As the 2 files for the upload are very big please allow the transfere SW please allow the PA transfere App a little time for all responses.

After transfer of the Bootloader to the fixtures, some fixtures may have their displays off. Please give them another 5 minutes for internal transfer of the bootloaders. and then start with the main application update.

After then main application update is transferred to the fixtures they will need another ten minutes to update all drivers internally. After this is done, the fixtures will perform a reset, show a red error message and then update/restore the color calibration.

‍WARNING

‍A CRITICAL BUG WAS FIXED IN BOOTLOADER 1.4.3! Make sure all slave bootloaders are updated to version 2.2.1 (package 1.4.3) before attempting any further update. If this is not obeyed, the Network Interface can be bricked and requires opening of the fixture!

‍INFO

This update is show critical as the tilt direction of bar fixtures is changed. And motor drivers are optimized in general.

As the Main bootloader is updated, the fixtures could be on factory settings after the  update.
