Firmware Updates
Firmware updates for the ABT are issued occasionally, with the release of a new version of

on the Kaleido-X upgrade DVD, or can be obtained by contacting Grass Valley Technical
Support.
To determine if you need to update your ABT, check its firmware version (see Information
Web Page , on page 13), and compare it with the version of the firmware update file (see the
Software and Firmware section, in the Kaleido-X Release Notes).
The firmware of the ABT can be updated over its Ethernet connection.
