Setup
USB Software Update
The Ovation Rêve E-3 IP allows for software updates with a USB device using the built-in USB port. To
update the software using a USB flash drive, do the following:
1. Power on the product, and plug the flash drive into the USB port.
2. Once the flash drive has been detected, the message "Upgrade Firmware" will be displayed.
Press <ENTER>. If a different message appears on the display, search for the updated software in
the main menu (Update Firmware) and select from Only This Unit, Multiple Fixture, or Other
Fixture Type. A list of the updated software files will be displayed.
3. Select the file that needs to be uploaded. The message "Are you sure?" will be displayed. Press
<ENTER>.
If the selected file is incorrect, the upgrade will fail, and the display will go back to the main
interface. Repeat steps 1–3 using the correct file.
4. If the selected file is correct, the upgrade will start. DO NOT turn off the power or disconnect the
USB during the process. USB update can take several minutes to complete.
5. When the update is completed, the fixture will automatically reboot.
6. Go to Fixture Information on the product's menu map and confirm the firmware revision.
7. When the boot-up process is finished, restart the product.
•
Place the .chl file in the root directory of the USB drive.
•
The product's USB port supports up to 32GB capacity and only works with FAT32 file format.
Turning off the power, removing the USB, or not setting the fixture to the correct protocol
during the update can cause partial or total firmware failure in the targeted fixture(s).
Please refer to
Force Upload
A Force Upload is done whenever a software update fails due to accidental removal of the USB flash drive,
incorrect control protocol, or loss of power during a regular software update process.
•
A Force Upload process requires a target fixture (the fixture that needs a Force Upload
and a main fixture (the fixture that controls the upload process).
•
The Force Upload process can only be done one target fixture at a time.
To do a Force Upload, follow the instructions below:
1. Link the target fixture to the main fixture via a DMX 5-pin connection. Ensure that the target fixture
is turned off.
2. Turn on the main fixture and set its protocol to DMX512.
3. Plug the flash drive into the USB-C port of the main fixture.
4. Go to Upgrade Firmware on the menu map.
5. Choose between Multiple Fixture and Other Fixture Type. Press <ENTER>.
•
Multiple Fixture: Both the target fixture and main fixture are from the same product line
(e.g., 2 Ovation Rêve E-3 IP fixtures).
•
Other Fixture Type: The target fixture and main fixture are from different product series
(e.g., a Ovation Rêve E-3 IP as the target fixture and a Maverick Silens 2 Profile as the main
fixture).
6. Select the file that needs to be uploaded. The message "Are you sure?" will appear on the
screen. Press <ENTER>. Turn on the target fixture within 1–2 seconds of pressing <ENTER>. The
display on the target fixture should remain off.
a. The main fixture will show the update progress (0–100%).
b. The target fixture's display will turn on, and a notification "<UPDATE>" will appear on the screen.
The timing of when the target fixture's display will turn on varies from fixture to fixture.
7. DO NOT turn off power or remove the USB flash drive. Once the software is done uploading, the
target fixture will automatically reboot.
8. Go to the target fixture's main menu and confirm that the firmware version has been updated.
9. Reboot the target fixture.
