Control/Dimming ETC Expression 3 control channel upgrade

[Shawnbk1]

We have an ETC Expression 3 400 channel board. We are very maxed out at 400 channels and would like to see if anyone has or knows of a way to upgrade that module to the 800 or 1200 that was available when we purchased the board. Any help or ideas appreciated. Thanks

I'm not sure if it's a simple software upgrade or if they install some kind of hardware key that unlocks the channels. Your best bet will be giving etc a call tomorrow

I have spoken with them. They told me to contact a dealer, send the board back in and they could upgrade it. I was just trying to see if there was an easier fix, upgrade I can do myself. I was thinking it was just an extra module or board because there are several empty slots in the board. Thanks

The people you spoke with here on the phone were correct. It must come in to the factory in order to be upgraded. It cannot be upgraded in the field.

I guess there is a little more to it, probably a reflash or replacement of a few EPROMs.
