PART 1: Overview and Installation

NOTE: The Studio 4 driver software must

match the speed selected by the 1MHz/Fast

switch. Configure the Studio 4 driver soft-

ware as discussed in the "Studio 4<-

>Macintosh Communication Speed" sec-

tion in Chapter 5.

1-8/9-16 Switch

Select the 1-8 position (switch in) if the

Studio 4 is the first or only Studio 4 in a

network. This assigns port numbers 1

through 8 to the Studio 4's eight MIDI

ports.

Select the 9-16 position (switch out) if the

Studio 4 is the second in a network. This

assigns port numbers 9 through 16 to the

Studio 4's eight MIDI ports. Network con-

nections are discussed in Chapter 3.

NOTE: If you are using just one Studio 4,

set this switch to the 1-8 position.

Thru Switches (A & B)

These switches provide convenient

access to printers, modems or other

peripherals.

When a Thru switch is in the MIDI posi-

tion, the Studio 4 is in MIDI mode—

transmitting MIDI data between your

Macintosh and various studio devices.

When a Thru switch is in the THRU posi-

tion, data from the Macintosh (as

received on either the "A" or "B" input

ports) is passed through the Studio 4 to

the "A Thru" or "B Thru" ports on the rear

panel. Set a Thru switch to the THRU

position when your Macintosh needs to

communicate with an external peripheral

(such as a printer or modem).

SMPTE/Power Indicator Light

This LED blinks when there is any

SMPTE activity. When no timecode is

sent or received, the LED is lit as a power

indicator.

Power Switch

When pushed in, the power is ON. When

out, the power is OFF. The SMPTE/

Power LED should light when the switch

is in the ON position if the power supply is

connected to the Studio 4 and plugged in.
