Updating firmware on MediaMatrix devices

You can update the firmware on several types of MediaMatrix devices, including NioNodes and nControl nodes, using NWare.

Notes:

• During the update process, the device will restart. If you are updating a node that is outputting audio, output will stop until the unit has restarted.
• To reduce the risk of compatibility problems, we recommend that all the hardware devices (NioNodes, nControl nodes etc.) on the network run the same firmware version, and that the version matches the version of NWare you are running.
• If you are using a Dante system, and you need to upgrade the Dante firmware, we recommend that you do this before you upgrade the NioNode firmware.
• Firmware on nTouch 60 nodes is managed from the control surface of each nTouch 60 device. For more information, see Updating firmware on nTouch 60 nodes.

Each version of NWare includes firmware for all the MediaMatrix hardware devices it supports.

You can download the latest software and earlier versions of software from http://www.peaveycommercialaudio.com/products.cfm/Software/NWare-Software/NWare-Software.
