USD Setup Macintosh and Windows
USD Setup provides standalone software
control of the USD, and firmware updating
capabilities. USD Setup can be used with or
without Pro Tools for complete control of
all USD features. In order to use USD Setup,
you must have the following:
◆
An available serial or Com port (Macin-
tosh and Windows, respectively)
USD Setup is not available when the USD is
connected to a DigiSerial Port
Minimum Macintosh Requirements for
USD Setup
◆
68K and Power Macintosh computers re-
quire Mac OS version 7.5 or higher. Beige
G3 Macintosh computers must run OS 8.5
or higher.
• At least 2 MB of available RAM
• Virtual Memory must be turned off in
the Macintosh Memory Control Panel
• An available serial (modem or printer)
port, or equivalent USB converter. See
“USD Serial Port Requirements” on
page 2 for details.

Pro Tools MIX/MIXplus and Pro Tools 24
Systems
◆
The USD must be connected to the DigiS-
erial Port on the Digidesign MIX or d24
card (if multiple, use the card in the lowest
slot).
USD with the G3 and G4
Under certain circumstances, for example
when running the USD Setup utility appli-
cation, the USD must be connected to a
conventional serial port. Many MIDI de-
vices, as well as Digidesign’s MachineCon-
trol™ option, also require connection to a
conventional serial port. Since Power Mac-
intosh G3 and G4 computers do not con-
tain a conventional serial port, where con-
nection to a conventional Macintosh serial
port (modem or printer port) is called for in
this guide, you will need to utilize one of
the following adaptors:
• Stealth Serial Port, made by GeeTh-
ree.com. This adaptor supports firmware
updating of the USD.
• gPort Serial Adaptor, made by Griffin
Technology. This adaptor supports firm-
ware updating of the USD.
• USB Twin Serial Adaptor, model USA-
28x, made by Keyspan. This adaptor does
not support firmware updating of the
USD.
