Wow you want to bet on auto update features.. What if an update gets corrupted or a function get broken that you need in your chain of devices..
Also most units needs a full power off reboot after a FW upgrade. What if this device is in your End setup of your mix setup.
Getting a new FW update while broadcasting the 6 o clock news and reboots..
As a broadcast engineer i would not put any machine on auto fw update. Always do it by hand and when we don't need the gear for a big event or so. Because you nevver know what can happen.
The thing that software can not communicate with a different FW version is indeed a pain in the A..
We have 4 Atems and a whole lot of different laptops and computers running the Atem SW. And every time we need to check if the right software is installed. Also the LACK of being able to see what FW version is in the mixer makes this a huge problem. Boot up the Atem sw to find out there is different FW installed on the mixer.. Okee but What version?? Every time!! Please add this to the Popup like Installed FW is 7.0.1 and current Soft is 7.1.2 Doesn't look that difficult right..
