Update the Firmware
Note
Your camera's web interface will look slightly different.
1. Click Choose File, browse to the firmware update file that you downloaded, and select it. The filename ends
with .p7m.
The screen then displays the filename beside the Choose File button.
2. OPTIONAL: Click Export Data to save a copy of the camera's current configuration. You probably won't need it,
but it could save time if you need to roll back the update.
3. Click Begin Firmware Update. A confirmation dialog box opens.
4. Please READ the information in the dialog box and be sure you understand it. It's boring, but it could save you a
lot of time and aggravation.
5. When you are ready to start the update, click Continue. A progress message box opens and the indicator light
on the front of the camera turns yellow to show the firmware update is in progress. The process may take a few
minutes.
6. If the update process presents warnings or error messages, read them carefully.
When the update is complete, the camera restarts. This logs you out of the web interface.
Contact Vaddio technical support if you encounter any problems with the update.
Caution
Do not remove power or reset the camera while the indicator is yellow, showing a firmware update in progress.
Interrupting a firmware update can make the camera unusable.

Except where noted, these changes were made in version 2.1.0. and initially released in version 2.1.1.
Additions and Enhancements

nVersion 2.1.1 includes changes to improve camera testing and performance.
Fixed Issues
nCameras now reach the full 90° upward tilt stated in the technical specifications.
nIn some cases, turning the video output resolution switch, pausing momentarily, and turning it again could cause
errors. This has been fixed.
nIn some cases, the camera could continue to respond to joystick movements from a camera controller while
going into standby mode. This could result in the camera standing by in an unexpected position. This has been
fixed. The camera moves to the standby position and does not process any commands during the standby
sequence.
nIn some cases, custom home presets were not retained properly through firmware updates. This has been fixed.
nThe ccu scene store command now works as documented.

Firmware Release History:RoboSHOT HDMI Version 2.0.2
Release Date: May 19, 2016
Affected firmware
Component Version
System 2.0.2
Fixed Issues
In some installations where RoboSHOT cameras were connected to an AV Bridge MATRIX PRO, occasionally
camera or video errors occurred, sometimes in connection with RS-232 camera control issues. Performance has
been improved, but requires the MATRIX PRO to be at 1.0.4 and all connected cameras to be at the related version
(2.0.2 for RoboSHOT / RoboSHOT HDMI, 2.0.1 for RoboSHOT USB / RoboSHOT HD-SDI).
Known Issues
In installations where RoboSHOT cameras are connected to an AV Bridge MATRIX PRO, flooding the MATRIX
PRO with large numbers of camera commands in a very short time – for example, when sending numerous
commands via Telnet or web interface – occasionally causes the attached cameras' tally indications stop
functioning properly. When this happens, the diagnostic log shows errors stating that the tally command is not
executable.
Backward Compatibility
No backward compatibility issues have been found in testing.
Browser Support
We have tested this product with these web browsers:
nChrome®
nFirefox®
nMicrosoft® Internet Explorer®
nSafari®
nMicrosoft® Edge
We test using the browser version available from the vendor at that time. Older versions of these browsers are likely
