environments, whereas the consumer mode is commonly implemented on

equipment designed for home use in the consumer market. The primary

difference between the two modes is in the implementation of the SCMS

copy-protection bit, which, in the consumer format, prevents the user from

making digital copies of a digital copy. In most professional equipment, this

copy-protection bit can be turned off or on according to the user’s needs. In

consumer products, the SCMS bit is always enabled.

Unfortunately there is no way for the transmitting device to automatically

detect which format the receiving device is able to accept. If you have a

DAT deck that is not able to read the S/PDIF output from Gina24, chances

are Gina24 is transmitting in the mode that the deck is not equipped to

handle.

We have provided a software switch in the Gina24 driver that allows you to

select which mode Gina24 transmits. To access this switch go to the Gina24

Echo Console

. Select

Preferences

under the

File

menu. In the window that

appears you’ll see a pair of check boxes in an area labeled

S/PDIF Out

Format

; one box is labeled

Consumer

and the other

Professional

. Select

the appropriate format for your DAT (if you don’t know which one to use,

simply select the one that is not currently checked). Now click the

button and again try recording to your DAT.

Important note: Gina24 never transmits the SCMS bit, regardless of which

mode is selected.

Problem:

When the Windows start-up sound plays, it plays at an altered

pitch.

Solution

: When Gina24 is set to sync with an external device, it will

playback at the rate generated by that device. If the startup sound you are

using was sampled at 8 kHz, but you are synchronized with a device

running at 44.1 kHz, the startup sound will play back at this faster rate. You

have four choices - ignore the altered pitch, switch to Gina24’s internal

clock, use the sample rate lock feature, or use a different device for the

startup sound playback. We suggest that you never use Gina24 for playback

of any of Windows’ system sounds.
