Ok so i received today the hdmi voltage inserter, i made test and here the results :

I tested the device directly on the output of the vp50 : it doesn’t work
directly on the hdmi input of the 4k tv : it doesn’t work
on the input of one of my switch hdmi : it doesn’t work

…and bingo, on the input of another switch hdmi : it works but…with no sound…arf !!

i verified if i was on the audio options of the vp50 on the hdmi input audio, i am and no sound.

I also tested the accessorie on the input hdmi of the xbox and it also worked, only image, no sound

For the vp30, it only worked with the xbox, it didn’t worked on the switch hdmi but also only image no sound.

I don’t know where this problem comes from, any idea ?

The update worked perfectly !! i’m so happy i can now navigate the menu of the vp50.
The last problem is the same that i have with the vp30 : it works on my hdtv plasma but it doesn’t work on my 4k tv

I still not received the voltage hdmi injector yet.

Thank you very much !! now it loads the firmware i’m waiting, i hope, i pray that it will work !

[mrblack1]

Wow ! i just tried, it works !!

Just to help people who could have the same issue, before i didn’t succeed to update the vp50 because i first powered cycle the VP50 and then made setting on the pc. i succeed now because i followed this : “VP50 will only send that message to Teraterm once, change settings on the PC then power cycle the VP50 and see if you get the message”

Which baud rates did you use ? are you on the hardware mode ?

[mrblack1]

I have a black terminal but with no instruction at all like you. Maybe it’s a problem specific to the vp50 not the vp50pro ?
Can you give the exact model of your serial cable please ?

[mrblack1]

So why the guy from DVDO sent me the driver by email ? there is a driver, it’s a usb to serial adapter.

[mrblack1]

Here is the exact answer the guy from DVDO gave me :

“You can stop it.
The issue here is we are dealing with an older product trying to update with newer computers. Back then we only had Windows XP and maybe Windows 7 32bit.
I’m not sure the driver I sent you will work on Windows 10 64bit.”

and

“With our testing in the past the current driver does not seem to work with the VPxx processors.
To install the driver you need to go into device manger and update the driver. Again, I’m not sure if Windows 10 will take it.

Ken”

And concerning the test i just made it doesn’t work, so i can’t have a better proof don’t you think ?

Maybe you can make the test by your own with your vp50 pro on a windows 10 pc if you have the material, so we could be fixed ?

Whatever i receive today both material, the pc xp for the vp50 and the voltage hdmi injector for the vp30, i’ll give you the result as soon as i test it.

ok so i just made the test, still on windows 10, with hardware mode and also Xon/Xoff mode on each baud rates : the same black terminal with no instruction on each mode and every baud rates, no white terminal appeared, it does not work.

[mrblack1]

for the vp50 i can’t access the menu, the device is on “load abt file now…”

[mrblack1]

The manual for the upgrade says that i must use the hardware mode not Xon/Xoff, but i can make the test. i’ll do it tomorrow.
For the port i’m sure i selected the correct port, i verified.

[mrblack1]

He told me they made test and that windows 10 definitively is not compatible,he is sure for windows 10, for the other he wasn’t quite sure

[mrblack1]

I contacted the guy of DVDO, he explain me all : weird writing on the black terminal of tera term which are scrolling is not ok at all.
I should see white screen on the Tera Term pc software with this before loading the file: “ABT bootloader, powered by anchor bay technologies, Inc,… Please load the .abt file now..”
He told me that i can’t update the vp50 with windows 10, i can update it only with windows XP or windows 7 32 bits max.
So i don’t have any XP pc, so i have to buy one… to make those DVDO devices work is a real nightmare !!!!!!!!

[mrblack1]

I received today the FTDI serial cable to load the vp50 firmware :
I don’t know if i’m doing right.
I tried at first to load the firmware with the classic method, on the manual they say that i’m suppose to see a white screen on the Tera Term pc software with this before loading the file: “ABT bootloader, powered by anchor bay technologies, Inc,… Please load the .abt file now..” but the terminal is not white, it’s black with no inscription, maybe this is because i’m on windows 10 i don’t know.
Then i sent the abt file on tera term, the transfert began but blocked at 0.2% in tera term. on the vp 50 i saw : “loading…err”

So i tried another method, by using the bootloader mode of the vp50 to force the loading.
Now the transfert is still running but it’s extremely slow and i see weird writing on the black terminal of tera term which are scrolling.

Am i doing right, anyone please ?

[mrblack1]

So, the guy from DVDO answered me : he told me that the problem could be a hdmi voltage non compatibity, the hdmi from my tv don’t recognize the voltage signal of the hdmi output of the vp30.
So i found an adapter, if this is really the problem, that could resolve the issue : https://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-Go-42223-Compliant/dp/B001AJP3PM
i ordered it.
I will give you the result untill i receive it.
