Upgrading Software

Upgrade Management allows the user to upgrade the media server application, Mac OS 10.4 or
the XP Embedded operating system, and firmware on the system.

Verifying Software Versions

Running the latest version of
both the CMA Client software
and the media server
software will ensure that you
will get the best performance
from the fixtures on your
network.

To verify the CMA version, select About from the Help drop down menu. The media server
software version is displayed for each server on the network in the All Servers view.

NOTE:

Although running different versions of software on servers is not

prohibited, it is highly recommended that all servers on the network

be running the same software version.

Upgrading the CMA Software

Close the CMA before upgrading the CMA software. To Upgrade software:

1. Download the latest version of the application from the Support section of the High End

Systems website (

www.highend.com

). A download wizard simplifies installation on your

personal computer.

2. A dialog box will give you the option to Run or Save the application. Pressing Run

automatically un-installs any existing CMA version on your hard drive and installs the new
version.

Upgrading Server Software

The server software Digital Light and Axon media servers can only be uploaded to fixtures from
the CMA. You must first save the latest version of the software from the High End Systems
website (

www.highend.com

) to your hard drive and then use the CMA to upload it to any

media server on your link. To Upgrade Server Software:

1. Using your internet browser, select the latest version from the support section of the High

End Systems website. A dialog box will give you the option to Save.

2. Select the location and press Save again to put a copy of the Fixture software on your local
