The Source ID encoder contains firmware in a FLASH ROM device. From time to time firmware
updates may be provided to add additional features to the unit. The following procedure will allow you
to upload new firmware from your computer.
You will need the following equipment in order to update the Firmware:
•
PC with available communications port. The communication speed is 19200 baud. A 486 PC or
better with a 16550 UART based communications port is recommended.
•
"Straight-thru" serial extension cable (DB9 female to DB9 male) or (DB25 female to DB9 male)
•
Terminal program that is capable of Xmodem file transfer protocol. (such as HyperTerminal)
•
New firmware supplied by Evertz.

1. If you have changed the Serial port wiring from the factory default you will need to remove the top
cover and set the jumpers on jumper block J9 to the RS-232 DCE settings.
To avoid risk of shock, place the top cover on the unit before applying power.
2. Carefully place the top cover back on the unit before applying power to the unit.
3. With power disconnected, connect the straight through cable between the Source ID encoder serial
port and the PC.
4. Power-up the PC, and start the terminal software.
5. Configure the port settings of the terminal program as follows:
Baud
Parity
Data bits
Stop bits
Flow Control
6. To invoke the bootloader, hold the
encoder.
7. The front panel will display the word PROGRAMMER-19200. You should also see a menu appear in
the terminal window on the PC.
