gtmedia v7pro rs232

Post by kolithawick »

I am going to buy gtmedia v7pro. when checking the photos of it I did not see RS232 input for it.
does it have RS232 input?

The RS232 port connection is inside the unit.
RS232 recovery here.

With normal GT Media software, not Mars, you can use the USB flash.bin recovery method.

Recovery with Mars is different and uses update.bin
Mars can only return to normal GT Media software via RS232

Обновил на свою голову прошивку Mars, а на ней не находит 3 цифровых канала из 20. И внешний жёсткий диск перестал читать.
Как откатиться на обычную нормальную прошивку? Какой провод нужен?

Yes you would need to have wifi set up to use that method.

You can still put the file on the USB stick and load it from there.
