DM3 Firmware V2.00

Please read the following instructions and notes before updating DM3 series consoles.

Cautions when updating

Use “dm3_firm200.zip” for the update.
When updating, copy the unzipped file “DM3_firmware_V2.00.bin” to the root directory of a USB flash drive, and follow the instructions on the update guide. With DM3 (Dante model), the Dante firmware also needs to be updated. This can be achieved at the same time by using the same USB flash drive.
When updating the Dante firmware, the message "Dante Update Error. Dante Primary Port has no network link." may appear. In this case, connect another network device to the Dante Primary port and follow the update guide. If no other network devices are available, avoid the error by connecting the Dante Primary port (1) and network port (2) on the DM3 using an ethernet cable and then follow the update guide before proceeding.
*IMPORTANT NOTES*
Before copying the firmware files, delete all other files with extension .BIN from the root directory of the USB flash drive.

Cautions for Dante Domain Manager (DDM)

Please check here when using DDM.
*IMPORTANT NOTES*
For DM3 to control other Dante I/O devices while the console is enrolled in a DDM domain, V2.00 firmware is required. The console must be locally logged into the domain in order to establish control.

Cautions when using d&b audiotechnik DS10 Audio network bridge

When DM3 (Dante model) is connected to the same Dante network with d&b audiotechnik DS10 Audio network bridge, please ensure that all DS10 units are running firmware V2.0.4.1, available via Dante Updater. If running older firmware, the Dante Patch process from DM3 may not work correctly or behaves in an unstable manner. This prevents HA remote control of external Dante I/O devices such as R series, from working correctly with DM3.

DM3 Series Firmware/Editor Compatibility

Please make sure an appropriate version of Editor software is used, which is compatible with your console firmware in reference to the following compatibility chart. Using an unsupported Firmware/Editor and other related software combination may result in unexpected behavior.
Compatibility List

New features in V2.00

Added Insert Points and Patch for Input and Output channels.
A new Preference for USB Driver Mode has been added to connect computers via the [USB TO HOST] connector (Please refer to the DM3 series Reference Manual for details).
Added Dante Domain Manager login function.
Added Screen Calibration function.
Added Fader Position Calibration function.

Improvements in V2.00

exFAT is now supported as a file system for USB storage devices.
The RECORDER view now supports PLAYBACK position changes.
Improved the system LOG function.
Added DANTE Device Locked and AES67 Mode indicators to the DANTE Setup screen.

Fixed bugs in V2.00

Fixed a problem in which the GEQ Fader Assign button was incorrectly displayed in some screens.
Fixed a problem in which the original recorded file name remained on the RECORDER screen even after the file name was changed, due to the file size limitation of the USB storage device.
Fixed a problem in which some selected items displayed in pop-up menus were not refreshed after changing the selection using the same menu in DM3 Editor.
Fixed a problem in which the selected effect in the EFFECT TYPE screen was not refreshed after changing the effect type in DM3 Editor.
Fixed a problem in which a small noise occurred when a Pre Fader Send Point was selected.

Known issues

After changing the region, date, and time settings in the Date/Time screen of the Setup menu, Dante patches with externally connected Dante I/O devices may not be changed, or HA parameters may not be remotely controlled. If this symptom occurs, please reboot the DM3 unit. This problem will be fixed in a future firmware update.

Notices for usage

The Dante module will be reset to DAISY CHAIN mode following initialization. If Dante is used with a redundant connection, unplug the Dante network cables before initializing, reconfigure the Dante settings and then re-attach the network cables.

Notices for version updating

When updating DM3 series from V1.13 or earlier to V2.00 or later, the console may not restart automatically during the update process. Please restart the console manually as follows. About 1 minute after starting the update, the display will black out, and only the [SEL] keys and a cursor in the upper-left corner of the screen will blink, which means that the file has been successfully transferred. Wait 10 seconds, then reboot the console with the power switch to start the rest of the update process.
