Troubleshooting

How do I perform a
firmware update on the ATRON-442?| If updated firmware is available, both firmware and update instructions can be found under the Firmware tab of each of the following links.  Note that if new firmware is not available, then the Firmware tab will not be displayed.
http://www.atlona.com/product/AT-RON-442
Does the Rondo series provide external automation control?| No.
3D content is not being displayed.| • If using INT (internal) EDID mode, all connected displays must be able to display 3D content.  If only one of the connected displays is not 3D-capable, then none of the
displays will show 3D content.
• To pass 3D content when not all displays support 3D, connect a 3D display to Output 1, then use the “learn EDID” procedure.
