Upgrading Device Firmware
From time to time Extron may issue rmware upgrades for VN-Matrix 300 in order to make
new functionality available. Details of the latest firmware release will be published on our
website, www.extron.com.
Upgrades are supplied in a single le, named in the format upgrade_verx.x.tar where
