Updating the Firmware
Extron periodically updates product firmware in conjunction
with the release of new software revisions. When updating any
Extron software to the latest revision level, please be sure to
read the supplied release notes, or contact an Extron Application
Engineer to determine if your Extron product requires a
firmware update.
To find the latest MSW firmware, do the following:
1
. Go to www.extron.com and click the Download tab.
2 . From the sidebar menu, click the Firmware link.
3 . Find the MSW 4V SDI rs on the alphabetical list (you may
need to click the “Next” arrow).
4 . Click the Download link for the product and follow the
instructions that appear on the screen.
5 . Note the folder to which you save the firmware file.
C Do not interrupt the firmware upload before it is
100% complete. Interrupting the upload corrupts
the firmware and the switcher will not operate
properly afterwards. If you experience problems
with this procedure, call the Extron S3 Sales &
Technical Support Hotline.
