Upgrading the firmware
The TVR 10 firmware is stored in the flash memory. Use the upgrade function to write
the firmware file (digicap.DAV) into the flash memory.
You need to upgrade firmware when it has become outdated.
Upgrade methods
There are several ways to upgrade your firmware:
• Use the USB function of the Upgrade screen on the Utilities screen. Make sure the
firmware file is placed under root directory of USB flash memory.
• Use the client software to upgrade the firmware file.
• Use the FTP function of the Upgrade screen on the Utilities screen. You need one
host PC to run the FTP server software and place the firmware file. Make sure the
TVR 10 and PC are in the same subnet.
We strongly recommend that you upgrade the firmware using the client software or
the USB function.
Upgrading with a USB flash memory
Use the Firmware Upgrade button on the Utilities screen to upgrade your firmware.
When upgrading your firmware, you retain all your existing settings. Only new
features are added with their default settings.
To upgrade the firmware:
