Functions
Update firmware - updates the console's main operating software.
Install Extras - add or replace data files, such as new device personalities, help texts or languages.
Export Logs - exports the console's log files to a USB drive.
Caution: All data is stored internally in non-volatile memory. Do not switch off the power until
any pending save operation is completed, or you may lose data. It is strongly advised that you
make periodic backups of important data to an external memory stick using the export function.
Update Firmware
The main operating software can be updated here. The software must be obtained from ETC and placed in
the root of the USB drive. Please make sure the software file is not inside any other folder or subdirectory,
as this will hide it from ColorSource's update function.
The file name will be in this format: ETC_CS_#.#.#.#.#.#.fw (the software version will replace #.#.#.#.#.#).
Caution: The update process may take a few minutes. Do not shutdown the console until the
process has finished. You will be prompted to shutdown the console and restart after the update.
Install Extras
Data and content used by the console may be imported here.
This includes new device personality libraries, new help texts, language revisions, additions, and other
internal features as they become available.
The files you wish to import must be obtained from ETC and placed in the root of the USB drive. The files
will be named with the suffix .cspkg.
Note: You cannot update the main operating software here, only support files. To update the
main software version, you will need to use the Update firmware button.
Note: Fixture profiles are not loaded from this display. Please see Loading a Fixture Profile for
instructions.
Export Logs
Exports the console's log files to a USB drive. Tap Yes to export or No to cancel.
The file name will be in this format: ColorSource_Logs_#.tar.gz.

3. Plug the USB drive into the USB port of your console.
4. On your console, go to Setup>Files>Advanced>Install Extras.
