Firmware Update; Tools Required; Procedure - Datavideo AD-300 Instruction Manual

4. Firmware Update

Datavideo usually releases new firmware containing new features or reported bug
fixes from time to time. Customers can either download the AD-300 firmware as they
wish or contact their local dealer or reseller for assistance.
This section outlines the firmware upgrade process which should take approximately
few minutes to complete.
The existing AD-300 settings should persist through the firmware upgrade process,
which should not be interrupted once started as this could result in a non-responsive
unit.
