If you change the link ordering after installation you must run dplinks.exe. This program will update the

existing input names used by the windows DirectShow interface.

To run the dplinks program open the Run by clicking on Start/Run and type dplinks and then press Enter.

The program will run, however no notifications are displayed.

Firmware Upgrades

The VisionSDI2 cards allow firmware upgrade to be completed on site rather than returning the card to

Datapath. Whenever a firmware upgrade is performed, LK1 MUST BE FITTED on the VisionSDI2.

To perform the upgrade, follow the step-by-step instructions provided by the upgrade application.

In the unlikely event that something goes wrong during the upgrade process (e.g. System power outage)

it is possible to revert to the factory settings by powering down the system, temporarily removing LK1

then powering up the system with the link removed. Once the system has rebooted, replace the LK1 link

(whilst the system is powered up) and restart the firmware upgrade process.

It should be noted that the latest driver installation program includes an automatic firmware update, if

required. Therefore, prior to installing the application and driver, ensure that LK1 is fitted.

Software Installation

The Vision software (driver and application) is installed by inserting the CD that was shipped with your

card into your CD ROM drive. The installation process should start automatically.

Should the CD fail to autorun use Explorer to browse the CD, locate then double click on install.exe

file e.g. d:/install.exe and click on Install Software... and follow the installation wizard instructions as

prompted.

Regular software updates are available from our website: www.datapath.co.uk
