Software Versions
Let’s quickly jump to menu page 7316. This is the ENG SETUP->SYSTEM->INSTALL menu. This is where
you will install new software. It is also a page that shows the major software versions reported back
from each chassis. We are looking at this page to see if DCU1 reports back a software version. If you
see a software version on DCU1, then it’s communicating correctly. If you do not see DCU1’s software
version, please verify all the correct connections as discussed earlier. Because this screen reads all
chassis’ software versions, this is another great place to look for communications problems. If a
software version is reported back, it’s usually a good sign of normal communication.
If you ever have trouble and call Sony Service on the phone, one of the first things they’ll ask you is what
software version you have installed on each component. By the way, it’s common to have mis-matched
software versions between different switcher components.
Now, we’re going to skip the rest of the setup sections on the bottom as they will be covered during
your Install Check Out.
