CS-800 / CS-500 Firmware V1.3.2

  • When using firmware version 1.3.1 or earlier, the following may occur when the camera is switched during a Teams meeting. Be sure to update the firmware to version 1.3.2.
    • Even though the microphone is muted (status indicator on CS-800/CS-500 is lit in red), audio may be picked up and output to the remote party.
  • The firmware can be updated with Yamaha CS Manager or (for firmware version 1.2.0 or higher) CS Remote Configurator. For the updating procedure, refer to the User Guide for each application software.
    * Each Operation Guide can be downloaded under “Related downloads” at the bottom of this page.
  • Be sure to use the latest version of Yamaha CS Manager – Windows: V1.1.0/Mac: V1.1.2.
    (If you use an older version, you may not be able to update the firmware properly or use some functions.)
  • Once installed, downgrading to prior firmware versions will not be possible. Use Yamaha CS Manager to check the firmware version of your CS-800/CS-500.
  • When the update has completed successfully, the CS-800/CS-500 restarts, and the indicator lights up in white. If the indicator is not a steady white, please update the firmware again.
    * After the update is completed, the [Firmware version] on the Yamaha CS Manager Status screen should read “1.3.2”.

When updating from firmware version 1.0.4 or earlier
