Online Tree - Master Controller device elements
These are the specific device components within the Master; each of which requires it's own firmware. For example,
NetLinx Controllers use two firmware files: "Master Firmware" is used by the NI Controller and "Device Firmware" is
used by the Device Controller. Enova DVX All-In-One Presentation Switchers also utilize "Switcher Firmware" for the
A/V Switcher component.
Click on each of the Master's device component folders to view the Ports contained in each (FIG. 215).
