Grass Valley Indigo SD AV mixer - Firmware - need some help

1

Hello All,

In real need of some help or direction.

I have an Grass Valley Indigo SD AV mixer, it is at firmware version 1.2.19 (2008)
the last firmware issues was 1.2.28 (April 2011) it has several fixes for a few issues.

I have trying to locate this firmware, I have tried Grass Valley and they stopped support in 2017 and no longer have the firmware.

I have tried wayback machine and it points to an grass valley FTP site that is no longer up.

Does anyone have this firmware for the Indigo SD

I believe I can even copy the CF card and just paste it over mine if someone has the same Indigo SD AV mixer.

You can check version when the mixer is on, it is under the setup menu 2nd tab, will show firmware version, anything never than 2008 is a win for me.

willing to pay for your time and trouble if you have this firmware.

Any of these will work for me.

Let me look. IIRC, if you made support portal account with Grass Valley you could get access to the files. I used to have a working account, but haven’t been on in a year or two. I’ll also take a look at what version is on my Indigo.

I called grass valley support and they told me it was no longer supported and the firmware was no longer offered. :frowning:

Thank you for any help locating the firmware.

Can you add them to archive.org so people have access to the updates?

Nice one folks! Giving life back to old machines, fighting bit rot and disappearing websites, sharing the findings with public libraries…

@d_b I’ve been searching everywhere this firmware! Got excited to find this thread - but then I searched Archive.org but couldn’t find it.:frowning:

Dunno if I’m searching incorrectly or what!

Do you still have a copy by any chance?

I don’t have it handy, but perhaps @VampyreLegion might?

Thank you SO much!

I just installed the HD card after searching for over a year - only to find out I needed to update. Nothing on the website - called Quebec and they weren’t helpful either.

I really appreciate it man, can’t thank you enough!

Here’s another mirror too for anyone in the future finding this thread. I went ahead and included all the Grass Valley Indigo manuals, release notes, case studies, and the RS422 GVG-200 protocols I found too:

Has anyone had an issue updating? I tried to update my CF card, everything looked ok, but my Indego just spins its wheel and never boots up. I tried putting the old os I copied off back on, bu tit does the same thing, even tho it was just working with that one. Any ideas?

Did you try reformatting your CF card then putting the firmware files on it? Some devices don’t handle fragmentation well and a format and fresh copy will make the files contiguous.

THANKS for getting back to me! :grinning:
First thing i tried was just using the software to update the card.
That didn’t seem to boot, then i tried copying the old files back, also no luck.

So i formatted the drive (quick format,fat) and then tried the software again. Ill have to try formatting and then copying the original files back.

I should probably not use Quick format right?

Im using Windows 10, is it possible that is an issue?

Are you formatting the card FAT32…and NOT exFAT.
