We encourage you to keep the firmware on your device up to date. Updates may contain bug-fixes, provide
improved performance, or even enable new features.

The update process is not complicated

–

simply follow the steps listed below:

Download and unzip the most recent firmware update archive to extract

the ‘.bin’ file.

Click the

Device Settings

tab at the top of TCMI4KUHD

’s webpage

and compare the

Firmware

Version

shown to the number in the filename of the firmware version you downloaded. If the

download has a higher revision number, continue below to perform the update.

Click the

Update Firmware

button and click

Choose File

to show a file explorer.

10.

Use the file explorer to locate the firmware .bin file, and follow the prompts to perform the update.

The device will reboot during this process, which can take up a few moments.

Please be careful not to

interrupt power to the device during the update process

11.

Following a firmware update, we recommend performing a

Restore

operation. A recessed

Reset

button

is located at left on the device

’s

rear connector panel, or you can use the

Restore

function

from the web page.

Hint: On some web browsers, you may occa

sionally need to clear the browser’s cach

e (history) to see the

result of a firmware update or Factory Reset. Also, please note that it can take a minute or two before the
NDI channel name shown in TriCaster refreshes.

The IP address of the device can change as a result of a

Restore

operation. You may need to use

TriCaster to locate the device on the network and log in again afterward. Also, if you have
previously set a manually configured IP address for the unit, you will need to reconfigure the IP
settings again following a

Restore

operation.

Hint: Should you set a custom password and then forget it, you can reset the device to factory defaults
using the Factory Reset process.
