Device Package

A device package is the actual device definition and contains the information that ETC Concert needs to communicate with and configure a device, such as a list of preferred properties, etc. Concert provides the flexibility to maintain multiple versions of device packages for the same class of hardware, and allows integration of those multiple versions in the same configuration through the Component Manager and UpdaterAtor features.

Firmware

Many device packages include one or more firmware packages allowing users to upgrade or downgrade the firmware in that device.

Firmware can be upgraded or downgraded from within the ETC Concert application using the UpdaterAtor.

Installation

Device packages can be installed, removed and upgraded from within the ETC Concert application using the Component Manager.

Preferred Properties

Each device package provides a list of its preferred properties (a subset of all its properties), which are shown in the Spreadsheet view and Property Editor.
