Soundcraft a écrit :Vi1 Consoles
############
Please note that the update procedure for Vi1 is slightly different to Vi2/4/6.
Read the following instructions carefully before starting the update, and refer to them during the process. It is important to note the sections, (step 2) loading a Default Show between starting the update, (Step 8) about not touching the console after the update may appear to have finished, and also switching the power off using the REAR switches after the fader recalibration (Step 11):
1.Download the following files from
www.soundcraft.com:
* Vi Series Software V4.8
* Vi Series V3.2.0.23_Update_Updater.zip
2.Copy the files to a USB key, without unzipping, and making sure the file is in the root of the key and there are no other older update files in the root of the key. (You can hide older updates by just moving them to a folder on the USB key if you want to keep them).
3.Load the Front-Of-House default show onto the console.
4.Put the USB stick into a running console and press the Power button.
5.From the Power menu, select the Update Console Software option (note, this option will only be seen if there is a USB stick with a valid update file in the console). You will be prompted to save the current show ñ do so if necessary.
6.You will see the main System Installer menu, which contains a list of the current and new software, firmware and shows. Not all desk software releases will update all of these items. Using the Up/Down buttons in the Snapshot control area of the front panel, select the option 'Install new version', as indicated by the white highlighted button.
7.Press the Recall button. You will now see activity with progress bars on the list menu and a green 'tick' mark will appear for each item in the right column after a few seconds. When all the items have green tick marks, you will see the text: "Update Succeeded. Remove Stick, Stagebox, HiQnet and Keyboard and press Recall to restart".
8.Check that the items referred to are unplugged from the console (but leave any MADI or other option cards plugged in), and then press the Recall button. The console will restart and after 45 seconds of various start-up screens, including a large Soundcraft logo, the console will show a progress bar with the Soundcraft Vi1 logo and text 'Installing...'.
9.After about 2.5 minutes the console may appear to have returned to normal operation. Do not touch the console at this point however, but wait (up to a further minute) until another progress menu appears, this time with a large blue progress bar and a message saying: "Installing... System will turn off when installation complete".
10.Wait for the console to completely power off, then press the power button to turn the console on again. At this point the console will boot up normally, with a large white progress bar at the bottom of the screen (about 40 secs).
11.The update process is now complete and the new desk software version can be viewed in the Menu 'MAIN' page. You can also reconnect the Stagebox, if one was attached.
12.Depending on what version you upgraded from, the fader firmware may have been updated, in which case it is advisable to carry out a Fader Recalibration following this update, as follows:
i. In the Menu screen, press the 'System' tab on the right, and select the DESK view.
ii. Press the FADER CAL screen button and answer Yes to the warning dialogue.
iii. The faders will now calibrate in four steps: Calibrate odd faders at bottom; calibrate even faders at bottom; Calibrate odd faders at top; calibrate even faders at top. The procedure will take approx 7 minutes and when finished all the faders will return to the bottom and will have green fader glow, indicating a successful calibration.
iv. After the calibration has finished, it is essential that the desk is switched off USING THE MAINS SWITCHES AT THE BACK OF THE CONSOLE. This ensures that the fader calibration data is stored. Do not shut the desk down using the Power button on the front panel otherwise the data will not be stored!
If you wish to roll a Vi1 back to previous software after the V4.7.5 install for any reason, please run the update process again but using the previous update console file which is still available on the website under 'older software versions'.
