    Pyramix Turnkey systems are complete, ready to go, rack-mounted PCs with the Pyramix Card and Soft- ware Set already installed and properly configured at the Merging Technologies factory. As such, no user installation or configuration is needed. You can connect audio sources and destinations (and sync and TimeCode if appropriate) and launch and run Pyramix immediately.

  • Page 9: Pyramix Versions

    Pyramix or may vary in capacity. The Pyramix software runs Native, using the host CPU and soundcard and on the Merging Technologies Mykerinos hardware platform, depending on the version purchased. Each Mykerinos board is capable of up to 128 channels of 24-bit digital audio, 64 recording and 64 playback.

  • Page 10: Installing Pyramix Virtual Studio Hardware

    Mykerinos Board Installation The Merging Technologies Mykerinos board can be installed in any free PCI slot in your PC. In general, it is best NOT to install the board in the PCI slot adjacent to an AGP graphics adapter; and in a PCI slot which may be physically shared with an ISA slot.

  • Page 11: Multi-Board Installation

    Most of the I/O options for the Mykerinos board are digital. Pyramix will often be used with external audio D/ A (for playback) and A/D (for recording) converters. Many such converters are available from Merging Technologies as options: for example, the Merging Technologies Dua II and Sphynx 2. Contact your local Merging Technologies Sales representative for more information.

    Quickstart Guide : Cabling Pyramix in your System Environment Capabilities of third party A/D - D/A converter boxes are widely variable. Please check with the manufac- turer to ascertain which sample rates, word lengths and number of I/O channels are supported. You will need this information later to appropriately configure the Pyramix software.
