4.3Unit installation
4.4System initialization
4.5Unit operation check
4.1Firmware Upgrade
If you are installing/replacing units, you may need to upgrade the main frame firmware. In
addition, the main frame settings are initialized during the installation or replacement of
units. Therefore, you should back up the main frame settings as necessary.
*For information on obtaining the newest version of the firmware, contact your local
Leader agent.
1) Checking the Firmware Version
a) Turn off the front panel [UNIT] key LED on the main frame.
b) From “1. UTILITY MENU” that is shown on the front panel LCD, select “VERSION
DISPLAY.”
c) Check the firmware version that is shown. If the current main frame firmware version
is older (the version number is smaller) than the newest firmware version, you must
upgrade the firmware.
Note: Firmware upgrading
• Even if you are installing the same type of unit that is installed, if the firmware
version is older (the version number is smaller) than the newest version, upgrade
the firmware.
• Please note that if the unit is a special order model, functions specific to the model may
no longer work if you upgrade the firmware using the firmware of the standard model.
• If the firmware version is less than 1.6, it may be necessary to upgrade data other
than the firmware. Please consult your local Leader agent in this case.
2) Backing Up Various Settings
When you install/replace a unit or upgrade the firmware, settings must be initialized.
When initialization is performed, various unit settings (excluding the LT 443D time
setting) and internal presets are reset to their factory default. If you need to retain the
settings, backup the following items.
• Internal presets (No.1 to 3: 3 items)
• Last memory (main frame settings that exist immediately before the power is turned
OFF: 1 item)
• Ethernet (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway: 3 items)
I-2
Note: Backing up the settings
• Internal presets and last memory can be backed up on a Compact Flash card (CF
card). Ethernet settings are not included in the preset. Please retain the settings
such as by taking a memo.
• For the procedure of storing presets to the CF card, see the item of “MAINFRAME”
in this manual.
• For backing up the data, use a CF card that is separate from the card used to
upgrade the firmware.
3) Upgrading the Firmware
a) Remove all cables that are connected to the LT 443D units.
b) Turn on the power to the main frame.
c) Insert the CF card for upgrading the firmware into the MEMORY CARD slot on the
front panel of the LT 443D main frame.
d) When the front panel LCD shows a screen illustrated in Figure 4-1-1, press the
[ENTER] key. The firmware upgrading starts.
CF OPERATION
▼CF (Ver X.X) → 443D

e) While the firmware is being upgraded, the LCD shows a screen illustrated in Figure
4-1-2, and the INT and EXT SYNCHRONIZATION LEDs illuminate alternately.
PROG. SYSTEM FLASH
Write: -------------- ------
Figure 4-1-2
f) When the firmware upgrading is finished, the main frame automatically restarts.
Then, the screen shown in Figure 4-1-1 appears again. Remove the CF card.
g) Check that the firmware has been upgraded by carrying out the procedure described
in 1), “Checking the Firmware Version.”
Note: Firmware upgrading
• When upgrading the firmware, remove all cables except the power cord. Be
especially certain that nothing is connected to the genlock connector. Upgrading the
firmware while the genlock function is in operation may hinder proper firmware
upgrading. In addition, the signal condition of the output connectors of each unit
may be abnormal while the firmware upgrade is in progress.
• To avoid problems such those related to compatibility, use CF cards (made by
SanDisk Corporation) that have been tested by Leader for backing up data.
• Do not operate the keys while the firmware upgrade is in progress.
• If the power is cut off while the firmware upgrade is in progress, the unit may no longer
be able to startup. Never cut off the power while the firmware upgrade is in progress.

4.3Unit Installation
Install the unit into the slot.
a) Turn off the power to the main frame.
b) Remove the screws that are fixing the blank panel in place (Figure 4-3-1 (a)).
If a unit is already installed, remove the screws that are fixing the unit in place, place
75 Ω terminators on the unit’s BNC connectors, and pull the unit out. If the unit has
Canon connectors, attach Canon connector plugs, and then pull the unit out.
c) Check that there are no problems in the connector pins inside the slot (Figure 4-3-1 (b)).
d) Insert the unit’s board into the rail grooves (Figure 4-3-1 (c)).
e) Slide the unit in until the unit no longer moves inward (Figure 4-3-1 (d)).
f) Press the unit further into the slot to connect the main frame and unit connectors.
Check that the top and bottom steel plates of the main frame are closely aligned with
the units panel (Figure 4-3-1 (e)).

M3 x 6 mm). (Figure 4-3-1 (f))
Note: Handling of the unit and main frame
Each unit uses parts that are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge.
Damage can also result when mechanical stress is applied to the parts on the board.
Be sure to observe the following points.
• If you are carrying the unit, use dedicated packing material that has measures taken
against static electricity.
• If you are installing the unit, use a wrist wrap to prevent damage caused by static
electricity built up in your body. If a wrist wrap is not available, discharge the statistic
electricity on your body by using metal parts of a rack or something similar.
• While installing or replacing a unit, do not bring objects that may discharge static
electricity.
• When holding the unit in your hand, hold the chassis. Do not touch the parts or
connector pins on the board.
• Be sure to turn off the power to the main frame when installing or replacing a unit.
• Insert the unit in the appropriate slot according to Table 4-2-1.
• Before installing the unit, check that there are no problems in the slot connector pins
(such as a bent or broken pin).
• Be sure not to lose the unit attachment screws.
• Be sure to attach blank panels that come with the LT 443D main frame to unused
slots.
• The number of times that the connector connecting the main frame and the unit can
be attached and removed is 500. Avoid using the unit in a way that requires it to be
