) slot (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16 or x32). CPU power and memory required depend on the
operating system and on the audio application used.
Software requirements
To use your VX222e-S, install the driver from the HR Runtime package version 1.70 or higher. This package includes:
●
a Digigram np driver enabling OEM applications to best capitalize on the boards
●
a WDM DirectSound driver

∗
(32 bits, installation optional)
5
●
an ASIO driver (32 bits, installation optional)
Supported operating systems
VX222e-S card run under Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and following versions, 32 bits or 64 bits.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Due to the reduced length of the PCI EXPRESS
TM
bus connector and the resulting lack of mechanical stability, we strongly advise
against transporting the card(s) installed in a computer, unless its chassis or case provides a dedicated support to keep the card
securely in place in order to avoid physical damage.
The card has to be installed in the computer prior to installing its driver.
Installing the card
Gently plug the card into a free PCIe
®
slot and press it down firmly to position it. Tighten the screw.
Interrupt and memory address
Hardware interrupt and addresses are automatically set up at start-up by the PCI PnP BIOS.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Note: the installation of the software requires administrator rights on your computer
Please visit the Digigram web site at www.digigram.com for the most recent driver.
In case you run a specific application developed or installed by a Digigram partner, it might require the use of a specific driver
version. In this case, make sure that the updated driver has been approved by your supplier.
Standard installation under Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista
If the driver has been downloaded from our web site, it has to be expanded prior to the driver’s installation as follows: double-click
on the downloaded file (self-expanding). You can use the default destination location (Windows temporary folder) or select
another directory.
Important note: this default procedure installs the ‘Digigram Hardware Settings’ control panel. This application allows the configuration of the
hardware resources of Digigram cards for all audio applications. The DHS allows for instance to define the clock of the card, the input source,
input and output analog and digital gain, Sample Rate Converters, digital output format, etc...
Please note that, with the DHS installed, controls available through the DirectSound control panel are limited to:
●
Volume control for input and output
●
Wave control
Under Windows XP, and Server 2003 you may also install the driver without installing the DHS control panel, and in this case more controls are
available through the DirectSound control panel:
●
Volume control for input
●
Wave control
●
Monitoring control
●
Analog input level
●
Digital input level
●
Clock selection: AES Sync, AES1, Word Clock
