Upgrading devDriver-based video drivers
If you are using one or more devDriver-based video drivers, a conversion tool is available to upgrade these drivers in each
controller station to the newer nVideo-based drivers. You must upgrade these drivers before you migrate each controller station.
Prerequisites: Your laptop or PC is connected to the same network as your controller(s) and is running the
- From
- From the main menu, click .The Driver Upgrade Tool window opens.
- Enter the host address, platform and station addresses and click Next.The wizard reads the current station and scans its .bog (station) file. If a driver can be upgraded, the wizard changes the .bog file and downloads any dependent modules. Be sure that you have the required modules or an upgrade is not possible.
When it successfully completes the upgrade, the wizard indicates that is was successful.
NOTE: The wizard does not delete the old devDriver based video driver modules. - To conserve space in the controller, delete the old devDriver based modules if they are no longer needed. devDriver modules
that you can delete, include the following:
- devDriver.jar
- devHttpDriver.jar
- devIpDriver.jar
- devVideoDriver.jar
NOTE: The devDriver.jar may be required as a dependency for other drivers. If so, you cannot delete it while that dependency exists. - Delete any older driver modules, such as those for Closed-Circuit TV (CCTV) equipment associated with the older drivers.
