Upgrading The Monitor And Controller; Pro - Sony BVM-F250 Operation Manual

Upgrading the Monitor
and Controller
You can upgrade the monitor and the controller with the
data saved in a "Memory Stick".
You can upgrade the following data:
Monitor: Software program
Kernel
FPGA data
DisplayPort data
Controller: Software program
Kernel
Notes
• Use the controller with software version 1.7 or higher to
upgrade the monitor.
• Upgrading of the software for the controller is available
for version 1.11 or later of the software for the controller,
and upgrading of the controller kernel is available for
version 1.2 or later.
• Use a "Memory Stick PRO" for upgrading.
If a "Memory Stick" other than "Memory Stick PRO" is
used, the upgrading may not be executed correctly.
• To initialize the "Memory Stick PRO", use a machine
and application corresponding to "Memory Stick PRO".
If Windows Explorer is used for initialization, the
upgrading may not be executed correctly.
• When the unit is upgraded, use the AC power supply for
the monitor.
To get the upgrade data
Contact your Sony representative.
Saving the Upgrade Data in a
"Memory Stick PRO"
Save the upgrade data (MSSONY folder) in a "Memory
Stick PRO".
Save the whole MSSONY folder directly in the root
directory of the Memory Stick drive.
To confirm saving the data correctly
Double-click on the file including checksum.bat in the file
name.
