How to use USB digital input
Following are the information relevant to the installation and the use of USB input through computer.
Obtaining the driver
The drivers for HiPort USB to I2S interface are available in the USB key supplied with your Ethos.
Windows drivers are contained in zip files, Mac drivers are contained in
dmg files.
Installing the driver on a Windows-based PC
Create a temporary folder in the hard disk of your computer (you can even create it on the desktop). Then,
double-click on the zip file to open it.
Select and drag all files in the temporary folder: this automatically unzips all files.
We advise to install the driver manually.
The installation package offers two installation utilities, "setup32.exe" and "setup64.exe".
The former is for 32 bits operating systems, while the latter is for 64 bits operating systems.
Without connecting Ethos to the PC, double-click on either "setup64.exe" or "setup32.exe", depending on
your operating system: the driver will be installed in your PC.
Installing the driver on a Mac
Double-click on the dmg file to open it. It only contains a pkg file. Double click on it to start the driver
installation.
Click on the Continue button. The installation process will start, if necessary select "Install for all users",
then click on Continue button. Another window will appear and you'll be asked to type in the administrator
password.
After doing that, the installation process will continue and you'll be asked for a confirmation to continue
the process up to the computer restart. Click on Continue Installation button.
The installation will continue until the final window appears, announcing the successful installation of the
driver.
Connection to the host
After having installed the drivers, connect the "B" plug of a 2.0 USB A-B cable to the USB connector (see
"connections" on page 6) of Ethos.
Connect the "A" plug of the cable to a 2.0 USB port of your computer Mac or Windows.
Connect HiPort USB to I2S interface to the computer after manually installing the driver.
