Firmware & Updates

Firmware and updates​

Horizon Control checks the firmware version of connected Horizon devices when the application is opened.

Firmware check on startup​

  • If no update is required, Horizon Control opens the Mixer.

  • If an update is required, you are prompted to update the firmware.

Updating Horizon firmware​

  1. When prompted, select Update.

  2. In Select Devices To Update, add the Horizon devices you want to update.

  3. Select Update. Leave the devices connected and powered on until the update finishes.

  4. When Firmware Update Complete appears, select Finish.

Horizon reconnects automatically when the firmware update finishes, so there is no need to unplug the Thunderbolt cable or restart your Mac.

Checking for firmware updates​

To check for firmware updates manually, open Horizon Control and select Help > Check for Horizon Updates.

Firmware update errors​

Horizon Control provides an error dialogue for interrupted updates, a unit being disconnected during an update, and a failed unit within a multi-unit update. When updating multiple Horizon devices, if one device fails to update, the update process stops. Devices remaining in the update queue are not updated.
