    1. Point your browser at the FS1-X's upgrade page by clicking on the Update Firmware FS1-X link at the bottom of the navigation box on the left-hand side of any FS1-X web page. The FS1-X web pages are discussed in Chapter 5.

  • Page 35: System Cabling

    If there is a power outage or glitch during the software download, the FS1-X will boot the older software version and you can restart the upgrade process. This happens because the FS1-X has been designed with a safety feature where an internal “safe” copy of the previous software is retained in the event the updating process fails.

    (even if there is SMPTE 352 data to the contrary). NOTE: The 50/60 text in the menu and description above actually refers to 50/59.94 video. The FS1-X does not support 30 or 60 frame rate video. In Dual Stream mode, the system always assumes (even if there is SMPTE 352 data to the contrary) that the input consists of two multiplexed independent 3G video streams.
