Firmware Upgrade

Preparing the USB Drive

Before upgrading the unit’s firmware, prepare a USB drive and put the upgrade file into the USB drive with the following rules:
A folder named “uc9020_img” must be created in the root menu of the
USB drive.
The firmware upgrade file (*.bin) must be placed in the “uc9020_img”
folder.
The firmware upgrade file should look like the following:
uc9020_Vx.y.yyy
where x and y combine to indicate its version and
x = 1-9
y = 0-9
The unit will upgrade using the newest firmware.
For example: The folder includes a “uc9020_V1.0.080” file and a “uc9020_V1.1.102” file, the unit will upgrade using the “uc9020_V1.1.102” file.

What is CDN Service?

A content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a geographically distributed network of proxy servers and their data centers. The goal is to provide high availability and high performance by distributing the service spatially relative to end-users. CDNs serve a large portion of the Internet content today, including web objects (text, graphics and scripts), downloadable objects (media files, software, documents), applications (e­commerce, portals), live streaming media, on-demand streaming media, and social media sites.

RTMP/RTMPS and RTSP Protocols

UC9020 supports RTMP/RTMPS protocol but not RTSP.
The Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) was initially a proprietary protocol for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet between a live stream client and a server. The RTMP protocol has multiple variations.
The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol designed for use in entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media servers. The protocol is used for establishing and controlling media sessions between end points.

Other ways to input image overlays

When your iPad is connected to the unit using direct cable link, you can upload images to the iPad directly.
You can also use, and we strongly recommend you do, Apple AirDrop and its Continuity (Enable Handoff) features to upload all necessary data from Apple related products to improve convenience.
