Firmware Versions and Updating

The software inside the VCS recorder (firmware) can be updated by the user
at any time to take advantage of the latest features.

VCS firmware consists of two files: DSP Firmware and Supervisor Firmware.

To update the firmware

1. Ensure the VCS is connected to the laptop.

In the main VCS Manager window, click VCS.

2. Select the Browse button (

) next to the type of firmware you are

updating.

3. Browse to the file you wish to update and then click Update.

4. To activate the upgrade, unplug the USB cable from the VCS recorder.

The status LED will flash quickly while the upgrade is in progress. This
can take up to one minute. The VCS will then return to a ready state.
MoTeC recommends to power cycle the VCS (turn off and on) after a
firmware update.
Warning: Do not power down the VCS while the upgrade is in progress
(LED still flashing).

Matching Versions

The firmware version in the recorder must match the version of VCS Manager
software on the laptop in order to communicate.
