Update Tool: UPBOXPRO UPBOXPRO
Check hardware changelog before downloading firmware
Revision Release date Firmware changelog HW Compatibility
1.5 STABLE 23/12/2024 New Function:
  • Added "DMX Fault" section in Advanced menu. Now it is possible to choose the behavior of the device in case of DMX signal loss between Hold (default value), Blackout, Stand Alone, Emergency.
  • Added Dimmer Speed Off (settable via RDM).
Improvements:
  • "Dimmer Mode" changed to "Dimmer Speed". So:
    • Dimmer Mode "Off" changed to Dimmer Speed "Auto" (default value)
    • Dimmer Mode "Dimmer 1" changed to Dimmer Speed "Fast"
    • Dimmer Mode "Dimmer 2" changed to Dimmer Speed "Medium"
    • Dimmer Mode "Dimmer 3" changed to Dimmer Speed "Slow"
  • Improved RDM compliance.
Fixed Bugs:
  • In some DMX modes, changing the Dimmer DMX values when the strobe is active, the light source stops the strobe and the source always remains on.
  • Switching from Strobe@X% to Strobe@open, the light source turns on after a few moments.
  • Fixture produces jumps in light intensity when the Dimmer value is changed from 0 to 255 dmx value in a few seconds.
Rev. 1.0
