Upgrading Firmware

If you'd like to upgrade your TDC firmware you can either burn your own PROMS from the files available for download (on the left of this page), or request PROMS from Lance Design. We do not charge for the firmware upgrades, however we do ask that you only request one copy per unit, and that you provide a Federal Express account number for us to use to cover the shipping charges. If you'd like to request PROMS, please send us an email with Fedex account number, contact name, shipping address and phone number, number of copies requested, and TDC-100 serial numbers (if possible). This will allow us to keep our records up to date.

Version 3.4 - October, 2007

This is the current version for the TDC-100. It contains the features of all previous versions, plus the added feature of an 'External' clip list mode (menu selectable). For certain ddrs which support the required additional commands (EVS Spotbox) this mode provides access to an unlimited number of clips, as well as instant updating of current clip status for clips loaded by a method other than the TDC-100 panel.

Version 3.3 - July, 2007

This is the same as version 3.2 with a slight modification to accomodate a Profile quirk. There is no operational difference between this version and Version 3.2, except that it prevents the Profile from unloading clips at the termination of a loop. If you're not using Profile, there is no difference whatsoever.

Version 3.2 - October, 2006

Allows machines in play or loop to be unaffected by register recalls if the new registers do not have an intime. Also includes changes made in version 3.1, which are the improvement in clip status reporting, and the expansion of P-bus register recalls from 0-99 to 0-299.

Version 3.1 - August, 2006

Interim version which includes improvement in clip status reporting, and the expansion of P-bus register recalls from 0-99 to 0-299. Very few copies of this version were released, although it works fine. It is the same as version 3.2, except that it does not have the feature which allows playbacks and loops to be unaffected by recalling registers with empty intime registers.

Version 3.0 - October, 2004

Major re-write of TDC firmware, which includes numerous new features and improvements. These include clip filter, additional trigger functions, multi-point loops, and much more. There are still many more copies of this version in use than any other. Versions earlier than V3.0 should certainly be updated, as versions 3.0 and later represent a significant improvement in features and reliability.

Version 2.0 - June, 2001

Widely-used release version from 2001; now obsolete. If you're using this version, or any version number prior to 3.0, it is advisable to update your firmware.
