6. Select the Midiman PORTMAN 4x4/S driver from the list box
and click on “OK”.
7. Click on “Finish”. The rest of the installation is the same as
from Step 10 of the “Windows 3.1 Driver Installation”.
IMPORTANT: With Windows 95 make sure to click on the
“Enable Driver” box. If you fail to do this the PORTMAN 4x4/S
driver will not be enabled.
ATTENTION: If you experience a problem with the Portman
4x4/s not initializing, there’s a setting change you’ll need to
make under the advanced settings of the driver. This is due to
the speed of the system and parallel port. Go to the “Control
Panel,” double click on “Multimedia,” click on the “Advanced”
tab, double click on “Midi Devices and Instruments.” There
you’ll see the outputs for the Portman 4x4/S, highlight output
number one, click on “Properties” and then click on settings.
You will see settings for the driver, click on the advanced but-
ton. Adjust the “Extra Pulse Width” to 75 by incrementing up.
Click on OK to get out and then re-boot Windows for this to
take effect. If you still have problems or it’s not initializing then
adjust the Extra Pulse Width by 25. We have seen some systems
requiring settings up to 200.
Remote Control Software
Included with your PORTMAN 4x4/S is Windows Remote
Control software that enables you to configure and control the
PORTMAN 4x4/S SMPTE functions, and set up patchbay pro-
grams from your PC. The software enables you to set user bits,
frame format, flywheel and write start time (offset), as well as
start and stop SMPTE writing. Different Remote Control software
settings may be saved to disk as “configurations” and reloaded at
a later time.
