DMI cards | Update & Settings

In order to perform best, DMI cards need to be at the DMI Firmware version that comes with the KOS version installed on :konductor.

DMI cards installed in :konductor or in an Orange Box with DMI-KLANG can be updated via KLANG:app.

Update DMI Firmware

DMI CardFirmware (Tiva) VersionFPGA Date Code
DMI–Dante64@961042021/10/27
DMI–Dante64@96z1052023/02/27
DMI–MADI1632019/02/28

Versions included with KOS 5.7 (September 2025)

Step 1: Log in with KLANG:app (Admin mode required) to your :konductor.

Step 2: Navigate to KLANG:app > CONFIG > INFO > Set Menu > Update DMI cards.

Step 3: Select the DMI Slot and set Target = Firmware and FPGA. Then click UPDATE.

Step 4: Wait for the update to finish. Then manually restart the device.

ONLY UPDATE ONE DMI CARD AT A TIME. WAIT UNTIL THE UPDATE IS FINISHED. NEVER SHUT DOWN POWER DURING UPDATE.
The DMI card firmwares are included in the KLANG Operating System (KOS). A KOS Update might offer new firmwares, but a KOS update will not automatically update the DMI cards. However, a warning will be shown in CONFIG > INFO.

Head to CONFIG > INFO to check if a new firmware is available for your DMI cards.

<p><strong>Don’t worry</strong> if there was a power loss during the DMI firmware update and your DMI card is no longer recognized in <code>:konductor</code>. Follow these recovery steps:</p>

<ol>
<li>Power off the <code>:konductor</code> and remove the DMI card.</li>
<li>Locate the jumper labeled <strong>BOOT LOADER</strong> on the DMI card and move it to the other position (usually marked by a white line).</li>
<li>Reinsert the DMI card and power on the <code>:konductor</code>.</li>
<li>Wait up to 5 minutes or until the DMI card appears again under <code>CONFIG &gt; INFO</code>.</li>
<li>Power off the <code>:konductor</code>, remove the DMI card, and return the <strong>BOOT LOADER</strong> jumper to its original position.</li>
<li>Reinstall the DMI card and power on the <code>:konductor</code>.</li>
<li>Perform the <strong>Firmware only</strong> update for the DMI card.</li>
<li>After the update completes, power off the <code>:konductor</code>, wait 10 seconds, and power it on again.</li>
<li>Now proceed with the <strong>FPGA only</strong> update.</li>
</ol>

Auto Update DMI Firmware

If CONFIG > INFO > Set Menu > Auto Update DMI Firmware is enabled, the DMI cards’ FPGA and Firmware will be kept up-to-date, matching the newest version available in KOS.

Optocore Settings

Configure Optocore DMI Cards

You can set both the Optocore ID and channel routing in one place under KLANG:app > CONFIG > INFO > Set Menu > Configure DMI-OPTO.

Simply select:

  • The DMI Slot (1–3)
  • A unique Optocore ID for each slot (e.g., 21, 22, 23)
  • The number of channels from KLANG:konductor to Optocore
  • The number of channels from Optocore to KLANG:konductor
Make sure each DMI slot has a unique Optocore ID. This ID will be stored in :konductor per DMI slot and not on the card itself. When a DMI-Opto is moved to a different slot the ID has to be set for this slot as well.
Routing from the KLANG Immersive Mixing Engine to the Optocore cards has to be set separately via CONFIG > ROUTING.
By default DMI Slot 1 is routed to 3Diem Ch 1–64
and DMI Slot 2 to 3Diem Ch 65–128.
The mix outputs from 3Diem are sent to all three DMI slots.
