Appendix 3: Firmware Upgrade - Datavideo SE-1200MU Instruction Manual

Appendix 3: Firmware Upgrade

From time to time Datavideo may release new firmware to either add new SE-1200 MU features or to fix
user reported bugs in the current switcher firmware. Customers can update the switcher firmware
themselves if they wish, or they can contact their local supplier or Datavideo office for assistance, should
they prefer this method.
This page describes the firmware update process, and it should take approximately 15 minutes total time
to complete.
Once started the update process should not be interrupted in any way as this could result in a non-
responsive unit.
As well as a working SE-1200 MU switcher you may need:
 A Windows 7/8 PC/Laptop
 The latest Control Panel program for the mixer. This can be obtained from your local Datavideo
office/supplier.
 A simple router IP network/Static IP set up, see example on
