2.4.2 Uploading an AutoDome 600 or MIC Series 550 Service Pack
The firmware upgrade process requires updates to one or all of the following files:
The next sections contain information and instructions you need before upgrading an
AutoDome 600 or a MIC Series 550 with the CTFID application.
2.4.3 Order to Upload Files
There is a specific order in which service pack files must be uploaded to the camera. Before
starting a firmware upgrade, note the current firmware version of your camera listed in the
CTFID Device Information window.
Use the following file order to upload firmware to the AutoDome:
1. SC Boot: You must first upload the SC Boot file if the service pack contains a version of
the file greater than the installed version. The boot files are stored in a separate Boot
directory. Always check for and install this file before before installing the System
Configuration (SC) Main file.
Note: The SC Boot upload process erases the resident SC Main components, which
completely disables the AutoDome. When you upload the SC Boot files the CTFID
displays a message notifying the installer that the SC Main files must be reinstalled.
2. G5 Main, MIC Main: Upload this file after uploading the SC Boot file. If the service pack
does not contain an SC Boot update, you should upload the G5 Main file first.
3. FPGA: This file is uploaded along with the G5 Main or MIC Main file.
4. Language: Certain service packs include an optional language upgrade file used to update
the camera’s on-screen display menus. Upload this firmware file last.
