These firmware updates are intended only for Chroma-Q 2inspire PoE 100, 200, and 300.

IMPORTANT
To install the firmware, you will need either the Chroma-Q The Force or Chroma-Q Ethernet Updater application. 
Follow the upload instructions in the included PDF.

Note: There is only one firmware update for both the Engine and Processor board.
If multiple fixtures need to be updated, connect all the fixtures, and they will be updated in sequence.

After the firmware is installed, perform the following to ensure its functionality:
- Verify the firmware version number through RDM or Artnet.

## [1.4.0] - 2025-01-06 [Boot: v1.0.0, App: v1.4.0]
- Important Notice Regarding Chroma-Q 2inspire Firmware Update (Version 1.4)
 
## Key Changes:
- Firmware version 1.4 introduces "CQ Color Mix B" a new color algorithm designed to enhance transitions between paired colors (Red-Blue, Red-Green, Green-Blue) and improve the transition to the white point when all three colors are engaged.
 
## Impact on Pastel Color Mixes:
- This new and improved color mixing algorithm update may modify certain pastel color mixes.
- Previously programmed cues may require adjustments.
- Alternatively, you can force the fixture to retain the original color mix engine.
 
## New RDM Menu Feature – "CQ Color Mix":
- The default setting for "CQ Color Mix" is 1.  Setting it to 0 will revert the color mixing behavior to match the previous firmware version.
- Recommendation: 
- We strongly recommend keeping "CQ Color Mix" set to 1 to benefit from the improved color algorithm.
 
## Changes to default settings:
- CCT-Tint on Color Saturation is now disable by default.
- Fail Safe (when no DMX signal is received) will now default to 2=Go to full white
- Protocol will now default to sACN
 
## Additional Fixes:
- Resolved LTP/HTP merge issues.
- sACN settings are now saved correctly.
