9 FireWire I/O Module PREV039/10/1
9.1 Overview
The FireWire I/O Module type PREV039/10/1 provides up to eight
channels of digital audio input and output for the ADA-8 or ADA-8XR
over a FireWire (also known as IEEE-1394) bus connection.
The FireWire I/O Module enables the ADA-8 to be used as a high quality ‘soundcard’, or I/O
interface, for native PC and Macintosh workstation applications. Up to four ADA-8s may be
connected on the same FireWire bus allowing up to 32 channels of simultaneous recording
and playback.
Note that, currently, the Macintosh Driver does not support more than one FireWire Audio
Device and so only one ADA-8 FireWire I/O Module may be used with a Macintosh
Workstation at any given time. Concurrent operation with multiple FireWire I/O Modules will
be supported in a future release of the OS X Operating System.
For Windows XP PC applications a driver is supplied with the module, which makes the
ADA-8(s) appear as Windows Driver Model and ASIO compliant audio device(s).
For Macintosh OS X applications, the Operating System will automatically recognise the
connected ADA-8 and make it available to applications as an OS X Core Audio device.
9.2 Software Installation
