How to use the Universal Extender Updater 

Items needed: 

·        Windows PC (Mac OS with Parallels) 

·        USB Micro Data Cable (“Old Android style data cable”) OR 

·        USB Type-A to Type-C cable 

·        Download The [Firmware Uploader v1.36 Package] HERE

·        Physical access to the Tx/Rx HDBT units to be updated 

Step 1: 

·        Extracted the [Firmware Uploader v1.36 Package] zip, ensuring to keep the folder inside [Firmware Uploader V1.36] with all files inside 

Step 2: 

·        Connect the HDBT Transmitter or Receiver unit to your PC with the USB cable 

·        Check device manager to see which COM port it is using 

·        If needed, install the CH340 drivers HERE

·        Select that same port in the Firmware Uploader V1.36 program and then click [OPEN]

 

Step 3: 

·        Click the “[Search Device]” button 

·        The program will automatically detect and load the firmware file the unit needs 

·        If no firmware file is found and it appears “like nothing happens” then that HDBT unit has no firmware available (Example #1)

·        Click the “[Upgrade]” button to start the upgrade process (Example #3)

Step 4: 

·        Once your program looks similar to above, with the bar at 100%, the process is complete for that unit and you may click “[Close]” and safely disconnect the HDBT unit from the USB 

·        If you have more units to update, repeat from Step 2
