COBRA Firmware 7.1.3 Critical Release

The 7.1.3 critical release includes a patch to the 18R2 with the following fix:

• Within the general 7.1 BETA release, we have discovered that in some cases when using the multi-script feature, an unintended cue may fire. This happens primarily when the ending cue in a script has a time that matches the first cue of the next script. This includes STEP scripts and timed event scripts. This was reported by on Oct. 20th by one customer in testing, and another customer on Oct. 21st during a live event. We treated this as a critical issue and have since resolved this in the 7.1.3 patch release.

This is a critical release and only affects the cobra.s19 file on the 18R2 and should be patched immediately.

To update your 18R2, please follow the following simple steps:

1. Download the 7.1.3 cobra.s19 file attached to this article.
2. Place cobra.s19 file into the root direction of a USB drive.
3. Insert USB drive into the 18R2 while off.
4. Hold SYNC and power on 18R2. The LEDS will circle as the firmware is updated.
5. Once done, the unit will re-start and 7.1.3 will appear. Remove the USB drive.
6. You can re-start the 18R2 to re-confirm 7.1.3 appears.
7. You are done and the patch has been successfully applied.
