UPGRADE REDMOTE FIRMWARE

This section describes the REDMOTE firmware upgrade process using Mac, PC, and the DSMC.

UPGRADE REDMOTE WITH DSMC

When you dock a REDMOTE, the DSMC checks to see if the REDMOTE is running the latest firmware. If the

REDMOTE firmware is slightly outdated, you have the option to update the REDMOTE firmware through the

DSMC. If REDMOTE firmware is severely outdated, you will be instructed to install updates via USB.

NOTE: The REDMOTE and camera must be re-paired after upgrading DSMC firmware.
