How to update the SE-600 and HS-600 Firmware
(Excerpt from P.28 of the Manual)
From time to time Datavideo may release new firmware to fix reported bugs in the current SE-600 firmware or to add a new feature. Customers can update the SE-600 firmware themselves if they wish or they can contact their local dealer or reseller for assistance should they prefer this method.
This page describes the firmware update process for the complete unit, if you have all the items required it should take approximately 20 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-600 you will need:
The latest Firmware update files for the SE-600.
This can be obtained from your local Datavideo office or dealer.
The SE-600 power supply.
A formatted / empty SDHC card that is large enough to hold the update files.
A computer with SDHC card slot or SDHC card reader.
To update the SE-600 firmware:
Switch off the SE-600 in the normal way.
Unzip the firmware update folder to the computer desktop so the file(s) within it are easy to locate.
Copy and paste all the files inside the folder to the formatted / empty SDHC card.
Insert the SDHC card into the SD card slot on the front edge of the SE-600 keyboard.
Turn on the SE-600 and the unit will start normally.
Now enter the SETTINGS menu and choose option 9 : STORE, RECALL & UPDATE.
In the next menu screen choose option 2 : UPDATE FIRMWARE.
Select update mode option 1 : NORMAL then choose option 1 : ALL.
Press the CUT button on the SE-600 keyboard next to the T-BAR to start the update process.
The unit will proceed with the update. Progress will be shown within the Multi-Image Preview.
If successful the update process will end with a message on the Multi-Image Preview confirming how
to exit the update option.
Once successfully updated the unit will need to be reconfigured for PIP and LUMA KEY etc as any
previous settings will be changed by the update. For the same reason any LOGO images may need to be reloaded.
*WARNING: Once the update has been started, DO NOT turn the power off until the process is complete. The update process waits at certain points, this is normal, allow it plenty of time to continue. If the update is prematurely ended by mistake, loss of power or shows an error then the SE-600 may be made inoperable. Please contact your local Datavideo dealer or office for help and advice if the update appears to have failed.
It is possible to update certain parts of the SE-600 firmware individually. This is an advanced feature. Please only attempt this with guidance from your local Datavideo Office as certain mixes of firmware could make the unit non- responsive.
