JSTRONG Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Did anyone update their JVC projector to 2.0 firmware that just came out this week? IT appears it broke the driver and we can no longer control the NZ9 using the JVC 2.0 firmware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnicholson Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I have this projector. I've been waiting for that firmware, but have not updated yet. I guess I'll wait now! Please keep us posted. Apart from not being able to turn it on (!!!) automatically, any feedback on the new features? Didn't seem too earth shattering from the press release, but nice that they are adding new stuff.

Don Cohen Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 There have been a few reports of apparent problems with HDMI handshakes after the firmware update over at the AVS forum. If it occurs (and it is not yet proven or documented), those experiencing the problem report having left active HDMI cables plugged into the Projector, sometimes with the AVR/Pre-Pro turned on, when they did the update. Others have done their update with the same conditions and had no problems, so it isn't clear what is or isn't going on. I think it would be prudent to simply disconnect any HDMI cables when doing the update (which takes about an hour) to play it safe, even if it isn't absolutely necessary. One of the new features is a 3rd Laser Dimming Mode, meant to correct some of the shortcomings of the other 2. There is also an enhancement of its Frame Adapt DTM, with the addition of a "Wide" option, which apparently bumps the brightness up, in response to people reporting the image to be too dark. I haven't seen anything about breaking Control4 connectivity, so am very curious about this. What troubleshooting have you done so far to try and isolate the cause?

JSTRONG Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 We just sent the driver over to jvc for testing. We tried factory reset. Non sddp, and sddp. Etc. Don Cohen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTRONG Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 And fyi. It’s shows connected in the driver properties. But zero control. Tried different passwords also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Cohen Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Definitely weird. I just sold my NX7 and am waiting for my NZ9 to be shipped, so this is of great interest to me. I imagine you've already tried this, but powering down the NZ9, disconnecting its power cable for a minute or so, and then rebooting it can sometimes be helpful. JVC's AutoCal software uses an IP connection from PC to the Projector, and this is notoriously finicky. Sometimes a reboot like this can allow a connection to be established.

JSTRONG Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 Dan. We did 10-20 second reboots a few times. We just tried the 2 minute reboot per your suggestion and it fixed it. so thanks for your input Don Cohen and Neo1738 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Cohen Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Fantastic! Glad it wasn't anything major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
