RTI K4 Firmware Version 2.4

VERIFYING THAT YOU NEED THE UPGRADE
If you already have version 2.4 or newer you should not upgrade your
firmware to this version. Use the "Get Firmware Version" command from
the Communications menu in TheaterTouch Designer or Integration Designer
to determine the current firmware version. The reported version number
will consist of a number followed by a bootloader version number
[for example: 2.4 (Bootloader: 1.3)]. If the first part of the reported
version number is 2.4 or higher, you do not need this update.

PREREQUISITES FOR USING THIS UPGRADE PROCEDURE
TheaterTouch Designer 3.0 or higher, or Integration Designer 6.0 or
higher must already be installed on the PC that you wish to use to
upgrade the K4 firmware.  If your PC runs a 64-bit version of Windows,
Integration Designer 7.0 must be installed to perform the upgrade.
Upgrading to the latest version of Integration Designer is strongly
recommended.  You should verify that you can communicate with the K4
using Integration Designer before attempting to upgrade the firmware.

FIRMWARE UPGRADE PROCEDURE
1. Connect power to the K4 and make sure it operates normally.
2. Make sure TheaterTouch Designer 3.0 or higher or Integration
   Designer 6.0 or higher is installed on the PC that you are using to
   update the K4 firmware, and that Integration Designer can communicate
   successfully with the K4.  You can use the "Get Firmware Version"
   command on the Communications menu in Integration Designer to verify
   that the USB communications are working properly.
3. Run the k4update.exe program contained in this ZIP file and follow
   the on-screen instructions carefully.

ENABLING FLASH PLAYER SUPPORT
This firmware update includes support for displaying Adobe Flash
content in the web browser. If the K4 was not shipped from the factory
with Flash support enabled, you must run the included FlashEnable.exe
utility and follow the directions on-screen to enable the Flash
player after you have performed the firmware update. This procedure
only needs to be done once per K4, it will not have to be done after
future firmware updates.
