1 A PMW-EX1/PMW-EX3 Getting Stated Oveview This document descibes how to use the XDCAM EX Vesion Up Tool (heeafte Vesion Up Tool ) to upgade the PMW-EX1 and PMW-EX3 to vesion 1.20 (PMW-EX1) o vesion 1.10 (PMW-EX3). Use a USB cable to connect the PMW-EX1/EX3 to a compute with the XDCAM EX Vesion Up Tool installed, and pefom the upgade fom the compute. Note The USB connecto used fo the upgade is a dedicated connecto fo upgade only. See Connecting the Compute and PMW-EX1/EX3 (page 1) fo details. Refe to the PMW-EX1 o PMW-EX3 Opeating Instuctions fo details on using the PMW-EX1/EX3. If the compute s OS is Windows XP, then the Micosoft.NET Famewok untime is equied. Only connect one PMW-EX1/EX3 camcode to the compute fo upgade. Use the BC-U1/U2 Battey Chage to connect the PMW-EX1/EX3 to an AC powe souce. You can mount the battey pack at the same time to pevent poblems in case the AC powe souce is inteupted. If you inteupt the upgade pocess, you must stat ove fom the You cannot inteupt the pocess afte installing some of the modules, and then esume the pocess whee you left off. Connecting the Compute and PMW-EX1/EX3 To connect a PMW-EX1 1 Rotate the gip with the button pessed down as shown in the figue below.

A device dive is needed if you ae using a Windows compute. Although you can install this dive befoehand, we ecommend installing it duing the upgade pocess (see page 5). Do not tun off the powe duing the upgade pocess, unless an on-sceen message instucts you to do so. Doing so could inteupt the upgade pocess, and cause malfunctions. Unplugging and plugging back in the cable of a USB device duing the upgade pocess could cause a communication eo. Neve do this, because a communication eo duing the upgade pocess could damage the PMW-EX1/EX3. 1 Stat you compute, and stat the Vesion Up Tool by double-clicking the VesionUpTool icon. The [Vesion Up Tool] dialog appeas. If no poblems ae found in the Vesion Up Tool, the End Use License Ageement (EULA) window appeas, and asks you to agee to the EULA.

Pefoming the Upgade 1 In the [End Use License Ageement] window, click [I Agee]. To cancel the upgade Click [I Do Not Agee]. The [Cancel Upgade] dialog box appeas. Click [Yes]. To continue with the upgade, click [No]. A window appeas to veify that the compute and PMW-EX1/EX3 ae connected. 2 Connect the PMW-EX1/EX3 to you compute using a USB cable, and tun the powe on by setting the powe switch on the PMW-EX1/EX3 to the CAMERA position (stat up the PMW-EX1/EX3). If you ae using a Windows compute, a message will appea if the device dive is not installed. Install the device dive, following the messages on the sceen. Note Pogess display aea The dialog box displayed by the OS could be hidden undeneath the Vesion Up Tool. If the compute and PMW-EX1/EX3 ae connected coectly, the communication status is checked, then the powe supply, and then the model infomation. 5
