im Vertrieb von CAMBOARD Electronics Firmware Upgrade Installation In some cases the System 5’s firmware may require replacement with an updated version. The two user-replaceable firmware chips are U1, the main microcontroller, and U7, the carrier signal generator. Changes to firmware must be performed by authorized service personnel only.
Setting the clipping level appropriately allows headroom for maintaining signal fidelity. IR learning — The ability of a device, such as Extron’s System 5cr Plus, to receive and store infrared commands for other devices, such as a projector. Each command is assigned to a system operation (such as selecting an input).
