Updating the firmware
The firmware upgrade utility provides a way to replace the firmware that is coded
on the switcher’s control board without taking the switcher out of service, opening
the switcher enclosure, and replacing the firmware chip.
Upgrading the firmware does not overwrite the current configuration, presets,
or the audio settings.
Update the switcher firmware as follows:
1. Visit the Extron web site, www.extron.com, select the MVX switcher product
category, select the latest firmware file for download, and copy it to your
computer. Note the folder to which you save the firmware file.
2. Start the Matrix Switchers Control Program and connect to the MVX switcher.
See Using the software in this chapter, steps 1 through 3, starting on page 4-11.
3. Click Tools > Update firmware. The Extron Firmware Loader appears
(figure 4-9).
a. Click Upload. The Firmware Update window appears.
b. Click OK. The open file window appears.

4. Navigate to the folder where you saved the firmware upgrade file. Select the
file.
Ensure that the firmware upgrade is for the MVX Series VGA matrix
switcher.
