10.4 Firmware Update The Flash Update Tool updates the HDSP MADI to the latest firmware version. It requires an already installed driver. Start the program madi_aes_fut.exe. The Flash Update Tool displays the current revision of the HDSP MADI, and whether it needs an update or not. If so, then please press the 'Update' button. A progress bar will indicate when the flash process is finished. The bar moves slowly first (program), then faster (verify). If more than one interface card

Quick Boot All the card's settings described below are stored in a hardware memory, and are loaded im- mediately after a power-on of the computer. In clock mode Master even the last used sample rate is set. Directly after switching on the computer, a stable and predictable clock state is found at the HDSP MADI's outputs. This advanced technology completely eliminates disturbing noises and clock network problems during power-up or re-boot. Safe Mode Frequency verifies the current digita

Input Status Displays the state of the current input signal: • Channel format (64 or 56 channels) • Frame format (48K or 96K) • Sample rate (measured) • Active input (optical or coaxial) Clock Mode The unit can be configured to use its internal clock source (Master), or the clock source pre- defined via Pref. Sync Ref (AutoSync). Pref. Sync Ref. Used to pre-select the desired clock source. If the selected source isn't available, the unit will change to the next available one. T

DDS Activates all settings of this dialog. Value Shows the sample rate as adjusted in this dialog. The sample rate is defined by the basic setting (frequency), the multiplier, and the position of the acti- vated fader. Frequency Sets a fixed basic sample rate, which can be modified by multiplier and fader. Freq. Multiplier Changes the basic sample rate into Single, Double oder Quad Speed mode. Coarse Fader for coarse modification of the basic sample rate. Click Active to

The HDSP MADI's outstanding clock control allows for a synchronization of the output signal to the word clock's input signal not only at identical sample rates, but also at half, quarter, double and quad sample rates. A playback of 96 kHz can easily be synchronized via a 48 kHz word clock signal. SyncCheck If several digital devices are to be used simultaneously in a system, they not only have to oper- ate with the same sample frequency but also be synchronous with each other. This is

12. Operation and Usage 12.1 Playback The HDSP system can play back audio data only in supported modes (channels, PCM) and formats (sample rate, bit resolution). Otherwise an error message appears (for example at 22 kHz and 8 bit). In the audio application being used, HDSP must be selected as output device. This can often be found in the Options, Preferences or Settings menus under Playback Device, Audio Devices, Audio etc. We strongly recommend switching off all system sounds

12.2 DVD-Playback (AC-3/DTS) under MME AC-3 / DTS When using popular DVD software player like WinDVD and PowerDVD, their audio data stream can be sent to any AC-3/DTS capable receiver via the HDSP MADI. For this to work an output wave device has to be selected in >Control Panel/ Sounds and Multimedia/ Audio<. Also check 'use preferred device only'. You will notice that the DVD software's audio properties now allow to use 'SPDIF Out', 'Use SPDIF' or to 'activate SPDIF output'. When s

12.3 Low Latency under MME (Buffer Size Adjustment) Using Windows 95 or 98 the MME buffer size was nothing to worry about. Latencies below 46 ms were not possible. Meanwhile both computers and operating system have become much more powerful, and since Windows ME/2000/XP latencies far lower can be used. SAWStudio and Sonar allowed to use such low settings from the start. Sequoia was updated in version 5.91, WaveLab in version 3.04. In the HDSP's Settings dialog the MME buffersize (in
