ColorSource Cyc Alternate Processor CPU2

Symptoms/Issue

Why does my ColorSource Spot, Par, Cyc, or Source 4WRD-C say CPU2 next to the serial number?

Fix/Solution

Due to parts shortages, we were forced to temporarily use an alternate processor on the control card. To better keep track of this, we added a CPU2 sticker to the fixture's Serial Number to give us a faster way to identify which processor is in use. 

What else does this mean? 

  • CPU2 can ONLY accept specific fw versions. ColorSource Par and Spot use v3.0, ColorSource Cyc uses v 3.1. All other variants of ColorSource fixtures will remain on v1.X.X. 4WRD-C uses v2.0.0
  • There is a different fixture variant added into Updaterator should the new firmware need to be repushed to a fixture. 
  • Fixture to fixture software push will function only between fixtures using the same processor type. 
  • If you try to load the CPU2 firmware onto to a non-CPU2 fixture, or vise versa, nothing will happen; the fixtures will not accept the code.
