Release date: 2026-11-03.

Before updating: Match the firmware family used by the system. Changing major video compatibility families requires planning for all devices that must exchange video.

Download Firmware MAX v4.5.1

Before You Update

  • Confirm the installed firmware using How to Identify the Firmware Version of a Device. Use a package intended for the exact hardware model.
  • MAX v4.x.x supports existing control system drivers that use Legacy API command syntax.
  • MaxColor Series firmware does not provide video interoperability with Omega Series, Ultra Series, or 2G Series devices. QX translation for a legacy Ultra Series Tiler driver is control support, not cross-series video compatibility.
  • If changing between v3 and v4, plan updates for all devices that must exchange video.

For video compatibility, hardware support and driver considerations, see Understand MaxColor Series Firmware Compatibility.

MAX v4.5.1 Release Summary

  • JPSW: Corrects matrix switching control failures with certain TP-Link switches running newer switch firmware.

See the complete MAX v4.5.1 release notes.

Use a wired connection. After updating, verify the reported firmware version and test switching, video, audio, and any USB or control features used by the installation.
