LOLA: Low Latency Audio Visual Streaming System
3.2. Audio hardware Setup
Update/install the drivers first! (see section 3.1). Before using the software, it is highly
recommended to check if there is any board setup panel providing latency settings on which the
software applications have no control. The RME driver usually provides a DSP Setting Panel as the
one shown in Fig. 1 (a link to it is usually available in the bottom-right tool bar in Windows 7/XP).
Set the hardware latency (Buffer Size) to the smallest available (32 or 0.7 ms). DSP setting
panel might have a different look (it depends on driver versions), but they all have the same
equivalent functionalities.
When LOLA is launched, it will check for all available audio ASIO devices (if none is
available, the program will provide a warning and run without audio support). It will be possible to
select the desired ASIO audio device from the Audio Video Setup dialog window, available in the
Tools menu (Fig. 3).

3.3. Video hardware Setup
Update/install the drivers first! (see section 3.1). Before using an application relying on
BitFlow video devices, a so called camera configuration file must be installed for each camera
possibly connected to the BitFlow grabber. The utility SysReg.exe, available in Start/All
Programs/BitFlow/Sdk 5.60/ , can be used to add a new camera file to the grabber (note: for these
