To update the HD-P2 software you willcopy the update file (e.g. UPDATE_1_1.BIN) to a CFcard and insert it into the HD-P2. You can also copythe update file to the HD-P2 card while the system isdocked to a host computer over FireWire.Whenever the HD-P2 detects an update file on aninserted media (that is a different version from whatis currently installed), it will display the SoftwareUpdate screen. This screen shows the current versionof software and the version of software contained inthe update file.The HD-P2 stores two software versions in non-vola-tile flash memory. There is the default system version,which came from the factory and cannot be changed,and there is the current user version. When updat-ing software it replaces the user version. If there is aproblem with the update, you can always boot up theHD-P2 using the default system version by holdingthe STOP key and the PROJECT key while powering up.Once completed, the software update file is automati-cally deleted from the media.Default Project SettingsThis menu is almost identical to the Project Settingsmenu except that it changes the system’s default set-tings. When you create a new project without using aproject template, the HD-P2 uses these settings.Figure 31 - Project Templates ScreenProject TemplatesYou can turn a project’s settings into a template,which can then be used when creating new projects.This screen shows all of the saved templates on the CFcard. Selecting a template brings up a sub-menu whichlets you Rename or permanently Delete the template.HD-P2 Screens and MenusDisplay MenuThis menu shown in Figure 32 provides access todisplay related settings.
