Installing Firmware using Videobar Configuration

   • Standalone application only: If new firmware is available, the Install button is enabled.  Clicking Install will start the installation process, which can take several minutes.
     
      
   • Standalone and WebUI: Under the section Upload and install another version, drag-and-drop or browse for the firmware version that you would like to install. This method allows downgrading to a previous version. Firmware can be downloaded from www.boseprofessional.com.
     
   • Note: 
     Videobar VB1 firmware files have the extension .swu

Using Videobar Management

Videobar Management allows administrators to configure Videobars remotely and allows firmware updates to be scheduled for a future time to minimize business disruption.

2. Select the Videobar(s) to be updated.  Click Update FW.

   If new firmware is available, the Install vX.X.X button will be enabled (the version number will be replaced with the actual latest firmware version).
