9. Configuring the Digiface
9.1 General Information
Configuring the HDSP system is done using its own settings dialog, the program Hammerfall
DSP Settings.
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 I/O-box ADAT Sync port. This is
convenient for checking whether the system is running in time with the transmitting device (e.g.
ADAT).
