ATTENTION! While the firmware is being upgraded, the normal operation mode is suspended as the
endpoint is switched to bootload mode. Signal processing is not performed. Do not interrupt the firmware
upgrade. If any problem occurs, reboot the receiver and restart the process.
Step 1. Connect the computer to the same network as the matrix switchers are located. Run the LDU2
software. The discovered and known devices are being loaded.
Step 2. Select the firmware package file (*.lfp2). When the file is selected the release note is displayed in the
right window. Please read it carefully.

Step 3. Press the Open button. The listed devices – which are compatible with the firmware pack – are filtered
automatically in the main screen. Parameters button opens a window, where factory default restore
can be chosen after the firmware upgrade. Press Apply to accept.
Step 4. Select the desired devices and press the Start Update button. The upgrade takes about 10-12 minutes
to finish which is independent of the number of the upgraded devices since the upgrades are
processed simultaneously.
Step 5. After the part of LDU2 software upgrade process is finished, the matrix
starts the self-upgrade procedure. It is an automatic action and no
any user interruption is needed during the operation (the crosspoint
buttons show the status of the process).
Step 6. Finish. Clicking on the
