Updates to the Extron MGP 464 Multi-Graphic Processor firmware are made
available periodically via the Extron Web site. If the need arises, you can replace
the MGP 464’s main firmware via an IP connection without opening the unit.

There are three ways to check which version of firmware the MGP 464 is using:
view the front panel LCD window during power-on, view the System Status page
of the MGP 464’s embedded Web pages, or select About MGP... from the Windows-
based control software Help menu.
Using the LCD display at power-on
Watch the LCD window as you connect the MGP 464 to a power source. The first
piece of information displayed on the screen is the firmware version (along with the
