VX820HR, VX822HR, VX820e, & VX822e User Manual IMPORTANT NOTICE This card has been tested and found to comply with the following standards: • International: CISPR22 Class B • Europe: EMC 89/336/CEE (1992) specifications • United States: FCC Rules-Part 15-Class B (digital device) In order to guarantee compliance with the above standards in an installation, the following must be done: • the provided cable must not be modified • additional cables used must have their respective shield connected to each extremi
FEATURES VX822HR and VX820HR are audio cards for PCI bus. They are ‘Universal PCI 64-bit/66 MHz’, which means they can be plugged in 32-bit/33 MHz 5 V PCI slots as well as in 64-bit/66 MHz 3.3 V keyed PCI slots. The cards are also compatible with PCI-X interfaces. VX820e and VX822e are audio cards for PCI EXPRESSTM (PCIe®) bus. They are in PCI EXPRESSTM x1 format and can thus be plugged into any PCIe® slot (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32).
VX820HR, VX822HR, VX820e, & VX822e User Manual Main software features • • • Real-time, simultaneous PCM record and playback (8, 16 and 24 bits), Float IEEE754 (with 24-bit fixed-point dynamic range) When using the np SDK, real-time mixing of several PCM audio streams, direct monitoring, level adjustment, panning, cross-fades, punchin/punch-out, scrubbing Low latency DirectSound, Wave∗, and ASIO drivers Note: the HR Runtime package for Windows Vista does not include a Wave driver.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION TM Due to the reduced length of the PCI EXPRESS bus connector and the resulting lack of mechanical stability, we strongly advise against transporting the PCI TM EXPRESS card(s) installed in a computer, unless its chassis or case provides a dedicated support to keep the card securely in place in order to avoid physical damage. The card has to be installed in the computer prior to installing its driver.
VX820HR, VX822HR, VX820e, & VX822e User Manual • Wave control Under Windows XP and Server 2003 you may also install the driver without installing the DHS control panel, and in this case more controls are available through the DirectSound control panel: • Volume control for input • Wave control • Monitoring control • Analog input level • Digital input level • Clock selection: AES Sync, AES1, Word Clock • Digital output format: professional, consumer To do so, install the driver with the command line: “setu
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. In the “Ready to Install the Program” window, click on Install to start copying the files. • Note: In case the driver version is unsigned, the “Digital Signature Not Found” message may appear because a non-Microsoft software is about to be installed.
VX820HR, VX822HR, VX820e, & VX822e User Manual Digigram Control Center This control panel allows to define: • the number of buffers and their size • the granularity Please note that for all sound cards of the VX range, “PCM only” is the only operating mode, therefore this button is not functional in the Digigram control panel (CPL). (To access this control panel, go to , , , ).
Removing the driver under Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 • • • • Open the Windows Control Panel and double-click on the Add/Remove Software icon. Select “Digigram HR Runtime …”, and Change/Remove. Select Remove in the HR Runtime window. Follow the instructions to finish the driver removal. Removing the driver under Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7 • • • • Open the Windows Control Panel and double-click on the Programs and Features icon.
VX820HR, VX822HR, VX820e, & VX822e 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). If the playback is correct, the card is correctly installed and works. • To stop the playback, right click on the card icon, and select Stop Activities.
The ‘Digigram Hardware Settings’ (‘DHS’) control panel Digigram hardware settings (DHS) is an application allowing to configure the hardware resources of Digigram cards for all audio applications using them. A resource being managed by the DHS application can not be modified by any other application. To enable an audio application to modify a Digigram card resource, this resource must not be managed by the DHS.
