ColorBox Safeboot
ColorBox has a safety feature where an internal “safeboot” copy of minimal
system software is retained in the event the update process fails or the loaded
software becomes corrupted. The safeboot software is intended only to restore
the unit to a known configuration (the last network configuration settings are
retained) with which you can successfully connect to the device over the network
and download and reinstall fully functional system software.
NOTE: ColorBox safeboot software does not provide any video processing. You will need
to install new ColorBox firmware to restore full operation.
ColorBox safeboot is initiated by holding in the front panel
SELECT
button for
five seconds while powering up the unit, which launches the safeboot software
version. When running safeboot the STATUS LED is colored amber, and an amber
Safeboot warning alarm is shown on the ColorBox's web UI.
With the safeboot software running, you will be able to update your ColorBox to
the latest firmware version using its web UI.
