  • Page 4: Introduction

    4-band parametric EQ, effects, and dynamics, the DS2416 provides a complete digital recording studio inside a regular personal computer. Unlike other audio cards, the DS2416’s five DSPs take the load off the computer’s main processor leaving it free to concentrate on timing and other tasks while the DS2416 takes care of high-quality effects, EQ, and dynamics processing.

    Compatible Software Any software that supports Windows MME (Multimedia Extensions), includ- ing the Windows 95 Media Player accessory, can be used with the DS2416 for recording and playback. To use the mixing functions, however, requires soft- ware that supports the DS2416 mixer. The following software companies are supporting the DS2416.

    Internal I connector When two DS2416 cards are installed, this connector is connected to the “O” connector on the other card using the supplied 14-pin to 16-pin cable. Sound cards such as the Yamaha SW1000XG can be connected directly to this con- nector, with it output signals appearing at the DS2416 mixer’s sub inputs.

  • Page 9: Installing The Ds2416

    Installing the DS2416 Installing the DS2416 The DS2416 installs into a PCI expansion slot and requires no special jumper settings or interrupt settings. See your computer’s manual for full details on installing PCI cards. Turn off the computer and disconnect the power cord.

  • Page 10: Configuring The Ds2416

    Configuring the DS2416 Configuring the DS2416 The included setup utility is used to assign DS2416 inputs and outputs and select the wordclock source. Note that some audio software may use its own input and output assignments and ignore settings made using this utility.

  • Page 11: Wordclocks

    In a typical digital audio system, one device acts as the wordclock master and the other devices act as wordclock slaves, synchronizing to the wordclock master. If the DS2416 is the only digital audio device in your system, no spe- cial wordclock settings are required, as the DS2416 synchronizes to its own internal wordclock.

    Digitally Cascading DS2416 Cards Digitally Cascading DS2416 Cards Using the digital “I” and “O” connectors, two DS2416 cards can be digitally cascaded for common busing and 48-channel mixing. Install the second DS2416 into a PCI slot adjacent to the first DS2416, as explained previously.

  • Page 14: Connecting An Sw1000Xg Sound Card

    The Yamaha SW1000XG PCI Sound Card features an XG tone generator, onboard effects, MIDI interface, and analog inputs, and by connecting it to the “I” connector on a DS2416, its outputs can be digitally connected to the DS2416 mixer via its sub inputs. Note that you cannot use an SW1000XG card with two digitally cascaded DS2416 cards.

  • Page 15: Ds2416 Q&A (Questions & Answers)

    Yes, 3 megabytes, which is used for input, and effects delays. What is the available recording time? This is dependent on the software and selected wordlength How do I synchronize the DS2416 to MIDI Clock, MTC, or SMPTE timecode? The DS2416 receives timing information from the controlling soft- ware, so if the software supports external timecode, so does the DS2416.
