7.3 Notes on using the HDSPe PCI
Since driver version 3.068 the TCO can also be used with the HDSPe PCI, and therefore with
Multiface and Digiface. The following notes and limitations apply:
•
Only ASIO timecode (APP) is supported. Converting LTC to MTC is not supported.
•
Generating an audio clock out of the incoming timecode requires a BNC cable from the
TCO's word clock output to the word clock input of the Multiface/Digiface. In the Settings dia-
log Pref. Sync Ref has to be set to TCO and Clock Mode must be set to AutoSync. If the in-
coming timecode is not used to clock the HDSP system the BNC cable is not needed.
•
The PCI Express Bus provides only 12 Volt and a limited amount of current. Therefore ini-
tially the HDSP TCO will not receive any operating voltage (5 Volt) from the HDSPe PCI. For
the HDSP TCO to receive its operating voltage via the flat ribbon cable from the HDSP PCIe
card, connect the computer’s floppy power supply output to the 4-pin connector found on the
HDSPe PCI.
