VX222e & VX222e-Mic User Manual INFORMATION FOR THE USER This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
• a registration form For the OEM version, the cables are available optionally. FEATURES ® VX222e and VX222e-Mic are audio cards for PCI EXPRESS (PCIe ) bus. ® They are in PCI EXPRESS x1 format and can thus be plugged into any PCIe slot (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32).
• Possibility to control the parameters of the inputs and outputs (gains, mutes, 48 V switch, analog compressor-limiter-expander parameters), from the provided ‘Digigram Hardware Settings’ application, or from any application that addresses these controls • 24-bit DSP effects in playback and recording: 3-band parametric equalizer plus Maximizer ∗∗...
CPU power and memory required depend on the operating system and on the audio application used. Software requirements To use your VX222e or VX222e-Mic, install the driver from the HR Runtime package version 1.70 or higher. This package includes: •...
This application allows the configuration of the hardware resources of Digigram cards for all audio applications. The DHS allows for instance to define the clock of the card, the input source, input and output analog and digital gain, Sample Rate Converters, digital output format, etc...

∗ To install the Wave driver , select ‘Wave’. To be able to use your VX card through np, select the ‘Digigram np’ component option (or make sure that the np application explicitly sets the ‘VX_FLAG’ with PCXInitialize()). Next.
32-bit version! For all sound cards of the VX range, “PCM only” is the only operating mode, therefore this button is disabled in the Digigram control panel (CPL). (To access this control panel, go to <Start>, <Programs>, <Digigram>, <Digigram Control Center>).
• Open the Windows Control Panel and double-click on the Programs and Features icon. • Select “Digigram HR Runtime for Vista…”, and Change/Remove. • Select Remove in the HR Runtime window. • Follow the instructions to finish removing the driver.

VX222e & VX222e-Mic User Manual • If the card you have installed is listed: • Right click on the icon of the card. • Select ‘Diagnostics’, and Play Sine. This plays in loop a sine signal on the outputs of the card. You can also select Play file to play in loop a file of your choice (PCM only).
Digigram cards for all audio applications using them. A resource being managed by the DHS application can not be modified by any other applications. To enable an audio application to modify a Digigram card resource, this resource must not be managed by the DHS.
