gzip -S .gz logo.bmp
OS MS Windows:
Logo image compression to gzip archive can be made with a 7-Zip archiver.
The size of logo file after compression must not exceed a value (max.size gzip) specified in the table!
Setting logo from USB drive by command of System Recovery Utility
This kind of logo installation is used in MAG256/3xx/4xx and all subsequent models.
File location on the USB drive
Your logo file is logo.bmp.gz. Requirements to logo files for various STB models are described above.
Logo file should be previously written on a USB drive, in mag<model> directory, where <model> - number of STB model (256, 322, 324, 349, 351, 420, ...). Example for MAG322, the directory name: mag322.
Logo setting from System Recovery Utility
- Put logo.bmp.gz file into the USB drive. Connect the USB drive to STB.
- Enter System Recovery Utility menu.
- In System Recovery Utility menu, run the command: Upgrade Tools ⇒ Set Logotype ⇒ Using USB.
- Informational messages referring to logo installation are displayed on the screen.
- Wait for completion logo installation which is reported by the message: 'Logotype set successfully'.
- In System Recovery Utility menu, tap the Exit and Reboot command. STB will reboot and a new (just set) logo be displayed on the screen.
Setting logo from USB drive by script (MAG250/254/270)
In STB MAG250/254/270 models, new logo can be set by user by executing a script. For that purpose, the logo file and script file should be written on the USB drive. The script is run from the command-line shell (see chapter 'Access to STB file system via SSH').
Required files
To set the logo, you need two files:
1. Logo file logo.bmp.gz (see requirements).
2. Logo setting script. Logo setting script files for different STB models are as follows:
- MAG200 - update_logo-200.sh.zip
- MAG250/254 - update_logo-250.sh.zip
Note. Logo setting script must be decompressed (unzip) before use.
Logo setting
1. Edit (if needed) the file
2. Copy next two files to USB-drive into a single directory (for example, named: logotype):
3. Plug USB drive to STB (In new versions of software USB drive mounts in STB file system automatically);
4. Connect to STB via ssh;
5. Go to the directory media/USB-…/logotype
cd /media/USB-.../logotype
6. Run script file:
sh update_logo.sh
7. Wait until the end of the procedure (see messages in the shell);
8. Reboot STB and check the display of the new (just set) logo during STB loading.
Installing logo from DHCP/TFTP server

- Logo file (
logo.bmp.gz) - The DHCP server should be properly configured. An example of a DHCP server configuration (Vendor-Specific Information) is given in the DHCP server configuration. Loading and updating STB software section.
