9. Configuring the HDSP 9652

9.1 General Information

Configuring the HDSP system is done using its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can be

opened in two different ways:

• by clicking on the hammer icon in the Taskbar's system tray

The mixer of the Hammerfall DSP System (TotalMix) can be opened in two different ways:

• by clicking on the mixer icon in the Taskbar's system tray

The Hammerfall DSP’s hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions

and options which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different

requirements. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:

• Input selection

• Output mode

• Output channel status

• Synchronization behaviour

• Input and output status display

• Time code display

Any changes made in the Settings

dialog are applied immediately -

confirmation (e.g. by clicking on OK

or exiting the dialog) is not required.

However, settings should not be

changed during playback or record if

it can be avoided, as this can cause

unwanted noises. Also, please note

that even in 'Stop' mode, several

programs keep the recording and

playback devices open, which

means that any new settings might

not be applied immediately.

The status displays at the bottom of

the dialog box give the user precise

information about the current status

of the system, and the status of all

signals. ‘SyncCheck’ indicates

whether there is a valid signal for

each input (‘Lock’ or ‘No Lock’), or if

there is a valid and synchronous

signal (‘Sync’). The ‘AutoSync Ref’ display shows the input and frequency of the current sync

source.

'Time Code' displays time information received from the ADAT Sync port. This is convenient

for checking whether the system is running in time with the transmitting device (e.g. ADAT).
