Appendix E – Software Updates
Software downloads for both the Matrix console and Matrix Remote are available from our website:
We recomend that the console and remote software versions be kept in sync with one another.
Remote Software Updates
To update the Matrix Remote software, delete the old version and install the new version following the installation instructions
in Chapter 1.
Note: Because all Matrix data is saved on the SD card on the console, not as part of the Matrix Remote, the Remote can
be deleted without any loss of data
Console Software Updates

console(s) on the network have been found, highligh the console you wish to update and
click Select to close the pop-up.
Software Rescue Disk
In the unlikely event that the on-board flash memory fails, or you suffer a power failure while updating software, Matrix can boot
up from the SD card in the back of the console:
Download the latest Matrix update file. This is a Java (.jar) file. Change the suffix to .zip and use a zip program to open the file
and extract the code.img file to an SD card (you will need an SD card reader).
Turn off the console, fit the SD card, and reboot. The console will now restart (a little slower than normal) from the SD card.
Finally, repeat the software update process.
