To Verify the Upgrade Files

Each upgrade file is verified independently.

Download and install the GPG verification tool from https://gnupg.org/index.html.

Note: The signature files are located on the USB that came with your switcher and in the download package for software upgrades.
  1. Launch the Kleopatra application installed by GPG.


  2. Click Import and select the acuity.gpg file.


  3. Right-click on the new Rossbuild entry and click Certify.


  4. Click Create.


  5. Enter a name and email address in the Name and Email address fields and click OK to create a local certificate with those credentials.


  6. Click Decrypt/Verify and select the signature file (for example panel36-14.0a-0117.sha256) for the upgrade file that you want to verify. It will have the same filename as the upgrade file but with a .sha256 extension.
  7. Click Open.
  8. Select the upgrade file (for example panel36-14.0a-0117.tgz) that you want to verify.
  9. Click Open.
  10. The application will check the file against the signature and verify it.


    Important: If an upgrade file does not pass verification, do not use the files and contact Ross Video Technical Support.
  11. Verify the other upgrade files (.tgz) with their corresponding signature files (.sha256).
