With a basic understanding of the SyncStation functions,
connecting the hardware to your system should be straight-
forward. Once you have planned your system configuration
and identified the various clock sources, timecode paths
and machine control devices, you can start by connecting
the SyncStation to the host Nuendo system.
The SyncStation does not need to be connected to a
host Nuendo system in order to operate. With the front
panel controls, you can change all pertinent settings and
operate the unit stand-alone. However, the extended Sys-
tem Link connection requires the SyncStation to be con-
nected to Nuendo via USB in order to provide sample-
accurate sync.

USB connection

The USB port is used to connect the SyncStation to a
Nuendo host computer. The USB connection creates two
virtual MIDI ports in Nuendo which are used for sending
and receiving transport commands and timecode informa-
tion. The extended System Link connection uses USB to
send position correction commands from the SyncStation
to Nuendo. It also allows you to display and alter most of
the SyncStation settings remotely in Nuendo's Project
Synchronization Setup dialog.
For complete information on the configuration of
Nuendo's Project Synchronization Setup dialog, refer to the
documentation provided with Nuendo.

To connect the SyncStation to a host Nuendo system,
proceed as follows:
1. On the host computer, make sure that Nuendo is not
running.
USB connections can be made while the computer is on but Nuendo will
not recognize the device unless it is plugged in before Nuendo launches.
2. Connect the power to the SyncStation.
The SyncStation should be on when it is first plugged into the host's
USB port.
3. Connect the USB cable from the SyncStation to the
host computer.
It is advisable that you do not use a USB hub for this connection as it
might affect the operation of the SyncStation.
4. Install the driver software provided with the Sync-
Station.
Steinberg's driver software is required for error-free operation of the
SyncStation. Make sure you are using the latest driver available by fol-
lowing the directions found in the section
driver" on page 44.
5. Launch Nuendo.
6. On the Devices menu, select the Device Setup option
to check if the SyncStation appears.
The SyncStation entry can be found on the Devices list, in the Transport
category.
7. Click on the SyncStation entry to display the software
and hardware version numbers for your unit. If the version
numbers appear as all zeros, there was a problem recog-
nizing the unit. After closing Nuendo, try powering down
and powering up the SyncStation first to see if the prob-
lem persists.
