Configuring The Hdspe Madi Settings Dialog - RME Audio HDSPe MADI User Manual

8. Configuring the HDSPe MADI
8.1 Settings Dialog
Configuration of the HDSPe MADI is done via its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can
be opened:
 by clicking on the hammer symbol in the Task Bar's system tray
The mixer of the Hammerfall DSP Systems (TotalMix) can be opened:
 by clicking on the mixer icon in the Task Bar's system tray
The hardware of the HDSP system 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 re-
quirements. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:
 Input selection
 Configuration of digital I/Os
 Synchronization behaviour
 State of input and output
 Current sample rate
 Latency
Any changes made in the Settings dia-
log are applied immediately - confirma-
tion (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 un-
wanted noises.
Also, please note that even in 'Stop'
mode, several programs keep the re-
cording 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 infor-
mation about the current status of the
system, and the status of all digital sig-
nals.
The tab About includes information
about the current driver version.
Buffer Size
The setting Buffer Size determines the latency between incoming and outgoing ASIO and WDM
data, as well as affecting system stability (see chapter 10).
WDM Devices
Allows to freely set which I/Os are available as WDM devices, if these are stereo or multi-
channel devices (up to 8 channels), and if one or multiple of the currently active WDM devices
should have the Speaker property. More details are found in chapter 8.3.
