Software Updates - Black Box BBR64-MADI User Manual

Write Protect Disk:
This allows you to stop the BlackBox MADI Recorder writing any data to the
disk at all. It will not prevent other computers overwriting the disk if you
plug the drive into them. It is mainly used for Playback applications.

Software updates

It should be noted that JoeCo may release software upgrades from time to
time, either to add features or to cure bugs that have been found in the
software – though we have endeavoured to remove all that we've found.
Therefore, this document may be superseded in the future as other items
are added to the menu structure. We will note any significant changes in the
on-line version of the User Manual which will be found in the visitor area of
JoeCo website. Go to www.joeco.co.uk and use Log In to register
The software version currently installed into the BBR is displayed on the LCD
display during the boot procedure and can also be seen in the "About"
Menu. (N.B. In the event of reporting any suspected problems you will need
nd
to give the whole system serial number and the entire 2 line of the About
Menu as this contains both software and hardware version information.)
To load a new software update into the BBR:
Note your current version and ideally ensure that you have a copy in case
the update process fails for any reason. It is never a good idea to upload a
new piece of software immediately before an important recording – please
give yourself enough time to fully test that the software works to your
satisfaction before you need to use it in anger.
Ensure that you have a stable source of power during the update process –
we have endeavoured to make the update process safe if the power fails
during an update, but there is always the possibility that something could go
wrong, requiring a return to the factory for a chargeable repair.
Download the new update file from the End User area of JoeCo website
directly into the root folder of a FAT32 USB2 hard drive or a FAT32
formatted memory stick (note memory sticks or Pen drives are often
