Sorry for the late response but I'm still having trouble and I hope someone can still give me some advice.
To follow up on both of your posts, the switcher is on version 2.00.03 and when I did a power cycle after changing to both 1080i and 720p, it comes up blank. For clarification: when I change back to 480i it flickers for a few seconds then comes back with both cameras visible.
I'll attempt an initialization once I check with the previous video op to make sure I don't end up erasing essential settings (I'm still reading the manual for a way to save the curent settings), but I have one more question about updating the firmware. I've attempted it several times now and the board is not seeing the update file.
I followed the
instructions – initialized a 1GB SD card (Function > Memory > SDCard > Init),
downloaded the zip dropped the .hsd file in the SYSTEM subfolder (
proof) and put it back in the switcher. But when I go to load the new firmware (SDCard > Load > System) it doesn't show up under the "LoadFile" column. When I select Execute (by pressing F5) to attempt to install in desperation, it does not give me the status indicators "Loading version up file" or "Version up completed", and the Version setting (System > MainVer > SysVer) confirms that nothing has changed. I've even tried adding the update file to each of the subfolders (IMAGE, HS400 and root) and changing the permissions of the file so that Everyone is set to Read and Write just in case.
I don't think it's the card or the procedure I'm using either. If I choose Save instead of Load, I can save the current software version to the card, and when I select Load the software shows up under the LoadFile column and I can reinstall it on the switcher.
Anyone have any other guesses about why this switcher isn't reading the software file on the card?
