Binloop Configuration Software
Introduction to the Binloop Software
The Binloop Configuration Software is a Windows application that
provides an easy-to-use interface for programming and configuring the
Binloop. While it’s true that most of the Binloop’s configuration settings
can be accessed from the front-panel Menu Wheel interface, the Binloop
application provides a more visual alternative for configuring these
settings. In addition, this software is necessary to program SMPTE
timecode triggers for applications where you want the Binloop to operate
without any external control system.
Requirements
The Binloop software requires that you have PC running Microsoft
Windows XP or Windows Vista. This PC must have either an Ethernet
port and/or an RS-232 Serial port so that it may communicate with the
Binloop.
Installing the Binloop Software
This software can be installed directly from the CD/USB drive that was
packaged with the Binloop. If you have Internet access, we recommend
downloading the latest version from the Alcorn McBride website at
http://www.alcorn.com . Once you locate the installation file, simply run
it on your Windows PC and follow the on-screen instructions.
