FS2 Installation and Operation Manual — Software Update Installation

Software Update Installation

Although the FS2 comes from the factory pre-installed with software, it may not

be as up-to-date as software posted on our AJA website. This topic describes the

steps required to update the software in your AJA FS2.

Download the

Latest FS2 Software

Current and past releases of FS2 software are available on the World Wide Web

from AJA's website. To get the software, point your browser to the FS2 support

page, which will contain helpful FS2 information and links to the updates:

http://www.aja.com/support/converters/converters-fs2.php

Once you’re at the update page, you can select FS2 software files to download to

your Mac or PC for upgrading your local FS2 machine.

Unpack the

Software

FS2 software update files are “ZIP” files that you can open with a number of

standard and third party file compression applications. The software image that

you’ll install on the FS2 is a file with a name like FS2_ver_1.0.0.0.bin or similar.

Note: Depending on your PC or Mac operating system settings, the “.bin”

extension may not be visible to you in a file directory.

Uploading and

Installing the

Software to the FS2

Uploading and installing the software update requires a PC or Mac that can “see”

the FS2 via its ethernet connection. Follow this procedure to install the software:

1. Point your browser at the FS2's upgrade page by clicking on the Update Firmware

link at the bottom of the navigation box on the left-hand side of any FS2 web

page. The FS2 web pages are discussed in Chapter 5.

Update Firmware Browser Screen

2. Click the Browse... button to find and select the downloaded file. For example:

FS2_ver_1.0.0.10.bin contained in the file downloaded from AJA.

3. Click OK when asked if you want to Upload Firmware. The file uploads to the FS2

and is tested for validity. Incomplete, corrupted, or non-FS2 files are rejected.

Wait for the procedure to complete—it will take only a few minutes. Progress

bars show upload progress.

4. Click Commit Uploaded Firmware when prompted after the upload is finished.

Progress bars show progress as the file is written to flash memory.

After entering the

Firmware menu,

click Browse and

follow the prompts.
