5. Hardware Installation
To simplify installation it is recommended to first install the drivers before the unit is connected to
the computer. But it will also work the other way round.
Before installing the PCI Express card, please make sure the computer is switched off and
!
the power cable is disconnected from mains supply. Inserting or removing the card while the
computer is in operation can cause irreparable damage to both motherboard and card!
1. Disconnect the power cord and all other cables from the computer.
2. Remove the computer's housing. Further information on how to do this can be obtained from
your computer's instruction manual.
3. Important: Before removing the HDSPe AIO Pro from its protective bag, discharge any static
in your body by touching the metal chassis of the PC.
4. Prior to installation: Connect the HDSPe AIO Pro card to any Expansion Board (if present)
using the supplied flat ribbon cable. Please read the Expansion Board's manual for more de-
tails.
5. Insert the HDSPe AIO Pro firmly into a free PCI Express slot, press and fasten the screw.
6. If present, insert the Expansion Board(s) and fasten the screw(s).
7. Replace the computer's housing.
8. Reconnect all cables including the power cord.
6. Hardware - Connectors
6.1 External Connectors
The bracket of the HDSPe
AIO Pro has one ADAT opti-
cal input and output, a 9-pin
and a 15-pin D-sub socket.
The included breakout ca-
bles provide all the analog
and digital connections.
The ADAT I/O can also be used as optical SPDIF I/O, if set up accordingly in the Settings dia-
log.
The 9-pin digital breakout cable has two RCA connectors as coaxial SPDIF I/O (the red phono
socket is the output), and an XLR AES/EBU input and output.
The 15-pin analog breakout cable has four RCA connectors (stereo analog I/O), a 1/4" TRS
jack (headphones), and two 5-pin DIN connectors (MIDI I/O). Using the optional analog XLR
breakout cable BO9632-XLRMKH, the HDSPe AIO Pro offers balanced Line inputs and outputs
via female and male XLR connectors.
Optional HDSPe AIO Pro Word Clock Module
The expansion board HDSPe AIO Pro Word Clock Module provides one word clock input and
two word clock outputs. A green LED signals the LOCK state of the word clock input stage. A
small push switch allows to activate 75 Ohm termination for the word clock input. The yellow
LED is lit when termination is active.
Optional TCO
The time code option has one word clock and LTC input and output each on its slot bracket.
Under Windows the TCO provides the SMPTE position information in APP (ASIO Positioning
Protocol) and as MTC Sync. The LTC output requires communication via ASIO PP. Under Mac
OS X the TCO provides the SMPTE position in MTC Sync, the LTC output is without function.
