STAND-ALONE SOFTWARE LOADER

Overview

The Virtuoso and Vx76 consoles will automatically update the Node software when it is connected to the system.
However, the stand-alone loader application (VirtuosoLoader) may be used in place of the console to update the
Node. (The application works the same as the console’s update software feature in the Version Info window.)

When used with Art-Net, the Node software must be loaded with Series 400 software. This can be done using the
VirtuosoLoader.

The VirtuosoLoader application will update the connected devices according to the software update *.bin module(s)
contained within its folder. For example, the "Node.srec.bin" module as shown below:

Using the VirtuosoLoader Application

The VirtuosoLoader application will run on any Windows® or Macintosh® computer. However, it may be necessary to
install Java Runtime if the jar file does not run on your computer. It is available from

www.java.com
