6. Firmware Update
From time to time Datavideo may release new firmware to either add new
features or fix reported bugs in the current DAC-70 firmware. Customers can
update the DAC-70 firmware themselves or contact their local dealer for
assistance.
This section describes the firmware update process and it should take
approximately 10 minutes of total time to complete. Please note the
current DAC-70 settings. The update process should not be interrupted
once started as this could result in a non-responsive unit.

local Datavideo dealer or office.
