a. The Folder field should indicate “C:\MaestroEmbedded.”
b. In the Frame Processor Tar File Name field:
--For LTC systems (those using Linear Time Code) select the file that
has .LTC in the name. For example,
MaestroMC_2.400.aabb.ccdd.LTC.tar. (When used, LTC is con-
nected to pins 43 and 44 of the GPIO connector on the rear panel.)
--For VITC systems (those using Vertical Interval Time Code) select
the file that has .VITC in the name. For example,
MaestroMC_2.4.00.aabb.ccdd.VITC.tar.
c. In the Control Panel Tar File Name, field, select the .TAR file. For

7. Click the Select All button (lower right corner of application).
Alternatively, each board can be updated independently by clicking on
the Board Name field or all at the same time by using the
Select All button.
The Software Application box contains two buttons: Update Only and Update
and Apply .
• Update Only - Downloads the selected application software to the
boards but does not apply it as the running application. The
selected application software file appears in the “Pending>>”
row. The currently active application software appears in the
“Running>>” rows.
• Update & Apply - Downloads the selected application software to
the boards and applies it as the running application software.
CAUTION The following step will interrupt the video and audio signals passing through
the system for approximately two minutes.
8. Click the Update & Apply button.
This action will update the contents of the “Running>>” rows in the
Version columns and activate the application, FPGA and OS code.
Note If the Update Only button is clicked, the software application file does not
become the active software application until the Apply Pending button is
clicked. The “pending” software application will then be the active software.
