Pushing Software Update From One ColorSource Fixture to Others
ColorSource fixtures can push software versions from a fixture to other fixtures of the exact same type that are downstream in a wired DMX run.
To check what version a ColorSource fixture is at, power cycle the unit and observe the LCD. As the fixture is rebooting it will display it's current version.
This feature is only available for units running at least v1.3.0. Any fixtures running v1.2 or lower must be updated via UpdaterAtor.
Steps to Push Software
These instructions are meant to provide general information for quick reference. For the most up-to-date, detailed information, please refer to the current version of your fixture's installation manual
For these steps, we will refer to the fixture running the newer version of software as the SOURCE fixture and the other fixtures as the RECIPIENT fixtures.
- Make sure the source fixture is upstream of all secondary fixtures.
- Remove power and DMX in from the source fixture.
- Press and hold the source fixture's UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously while restoring power to the source fixture.
- The source fixture's displays will show 'Udt rdY' to indicate the update mode is selected.
- Press the Mode button on the source fixture to start the update process.
- The source unit's display will alternate between 'Udt' and the percentage complete.
- One the source fixture has finished counting up, the recipient fixtures' displays will show 'U:XX' with XX standing for the percentage complete.
- Once the update is complete, fixtures will reboot normally.
