V*AP
Getting Started – quick start guide
Before the V*AP can be used, there are some basic configuration steps which must be followed in the order
set out below. This example assumes you will process one physical condenser microphone and feed the
signal to your digital mixing desk that runs at 96kHz sampling rate.
* Connect the mic to the XLR CHA input of Interface 2
* Connect the XLR AES/EBU OUT connector to your digital desk
* Connect the BNC SYNC IN to the Word Clock output of your desk
* Hook up the device to your PC network
Consult your IT administrator for assistance if you are not sure about this procedure
- Connect it to a switch or hub or directly to a PC / LapTop by an Ethernet cable
(some PCs need a cross over cable when connected 1:1)
- Find an unused IP address - ask your administrator!
- Assign it that IP address and set the network mask accordingly, a gateway is optional
(see next page for details)
* Open a browser (FireFox 20.x recommended) and connect with the device
- Type in the IP address as an URL
* Set the sync source
- SYSTEM > Setup > Sync Source Priority > Choice 1=Sync-In WCLK
leave all other Choices x=OFF (for the beginning)
- SYSTEM > Setup > System Clock=Follow Input
* Define the program configuration
- SYSTEM > Setup > V*AP Voice Channel Mode=2 x Mono
* Setup the microphone input
- INTERFACES > Analog Mic > M1 > Input=Mic, Enable Preamp Gain=On (check box),
Preamp Gain=40dB, Pad=Off, Phantom Power=On (check box)
* Set the routing to the Audio Processor (DSP)
- ROUTING > MIC > MIC 1=DSP 1
* Set the routing from the Audio Processor (DSP)
- ROUTING > DSP > DSP 1=AES 1
Now you should have the mic signal on your desk and you may start experimenting with the various
parameters of the audio processing blocks.
Getting Started – IP setup in general
The process of installing a V*AP into an IP network is as follows :
1. Ask the system administrator for a unique IP addresses of the network,
the netmask and gateway address
2. Assign the V*AP an IP address
You have 2 choices to assign the V*AP an IP address :
* From the serial console interface
* Via Web browser
! Important Note: If you are not familiar with setting up devices for IP communication, we highly recommend
you consult your system service or IT department to assist you.
Getting Started – IP setup of the V*AP
The tool to change the IP configuration of the V*AP can be accessed via the console interface. You must
connect it with the PC via an USB A to B cable. This will install the driver for the built in USB to serial
converter. Now you can open a terminal program. Here you must select the virtual COM port assigned by
the OS. The communication parameters are :
115200kBaud, 8, N, 1 no hand shake. Pressing <ENTER> will open the console menu :
via console interface
