Unit Settings - Prism Sound Titan Operation Manual

Prism Sound Titan Operation Manual Revision 1.00
Windows' Control Panel (or from the Device Manager) or from the Audio MIDI Setup in Mac OS X.
Some audio applications also allow guided access to the Titan Control Panel app.
Operating the Titan Control Panel app
The Titan Control Panel app is a variable-size dialogue box which can be activated and 'put away' like
any other Mac or Windows application. When active, it cannot be resized. The upper part of the
Control Panel contains Unit settings, and beneath are a stack of 'tabs' allowing context-switching of
the bulk of the user-interface area.
The Inputs tab contains everything to do with setting up analogue and digital inputs, the Outputs tab
similarly for outputs. A row of Mixer tabs provide access to the low-latency built-in mixers for each
output pair.
Where more than one Titan unit is connected, a separate Titan Control Panel controls each
connected unit (see the section on Operating multiple units). If no Titan units are connected, the
Control Panel is replaced by a small dialogue box which reports this. Note that operation of more than
one Titan unit on a single host computer is not currently supported.

Unit settings

The upper area of the Titan Control Panel contains the main settings for the Titan unit.
The upper area also contains buttons for loading and saving Titan configurations, and for accessing
the on-line help.
The Titan model and serial number are displayed at the top of the Unit settings area. Note that the
currently-installed firmware version of the Titan unit can be displayed by hovering the mouse cursor
over this text.
The Sample Rate and Sync Source controls allow the unit's reference sample rate and
synchronization source to be selected. For more details, see the Synchronization section.
NOTE: If an external sync source such as DI or Wordclock is selected, but is either absent or
at a different rate from the selected sample rate, the unit reverts to local (internal) sync at the
selected sample rate. If the reference is later applied at the appropriate rate, audio is
re-enabled. Note that during Stand-alone operation an external sync source is allowed to
control the unit's sample rate.
NOTE: It may not be possible to change the sample rate whilst any of Titan's ports are in use
by an audio application (e.g. a DAW). In this case it is necessary to disconnect the ports from
the application before changing the sample rate, or (where possible) to change the rate from
within the application.
A two-channel sample-rate converter (SRC) can be configured in the S/PDIF input path, or in the
