2Installation

2.1 DigaStudio

1. Make sure that the power switch on the front of the DigaStudio Box is in the Off position

2. Plug the supplied power cable into the rear of the DigaStudio Box and then connect to a correctly

grounded power socket.

Note: The supply voltage can be in the range 100 ~ 240 Volt / 50 ~ 60 Hz.

3. Use the separately packaged cable to connect the DigaStudio Box with the DigaStudio Desk. Attach

the cable to the socket marked DESK on the DigaStudio Box and the socket marked MIXER on the

DigaStudio Desk.

4. Attach the required audio sources or sinks to the respective inputs. Analog symmetrical

sources/sinks are connected to the paired XLR sockets, analog asymmetrical sources/sinks (LINE

1, LINE 2, and Σ

ΣΣ

ΣOUT) via the respective cinch connectors.

A special 15-pol sub-D socket is available for direct analog connection of an PCX card (PCX). The

necessary audio cable is available as an optional extra (make sure that the cable is connected the

right way around as indicated by the cable markings).

There are also special 15-pol sub-D sockets for telephone hybrids, ISDN codec, and for the insert

path, whose connections are separately labeled.

For digital sources (DigaStudio Pro only) 2 AES/EBU inputs/outputs in XLR format are available.

A 6.3 mm stereo headphone connector is available on both the DigaStudio Box and the DigaStudio

Desk.

2.2 RS-422 adapter

The DigaStudio Box is connected to a PC via a RS-422 interface. Use the supplied connection kit in

accordance with the following instructions and note the safety information:

The following work should only be carried out by qualified personnel!

No liability will be accepted for damage caused by failure to follow the

following instructions correctly!

Before opening the PC case disconnect the power cable! Do not allow

any metal objects to fall into the PC!

DigaStudio Installation Notes Page 5 of 15

Before you come into contact with any electronic components make

sure that you are grounded and have discharged any static electricity!

1. Turn the PC off and open the case so that you have access to the rear slot-covers.

2. Select any free slot and remove its slot-cover. (Note: no ISA slot will be required).

3. Mount the slot-adapter in the space left by the slot-cover.

4. Attach an internal power cable to the adapter. Use the supplied Y-cable if no spare power cables

are available.

5. Make sure that there are no loose parts (screws, washers, etc) inside the PC and close the cover.

6. Connect the slot-adapter to a free RS-232 interface (COM port). Use either the 25 pol sub-D con-

nector or the long (2m) cable with the 9 pol sub-D connector depending on how the RS-232 inter-

faces are configured. Use the lower connector on the slot-adapter.

7. Now use the long (5m) connection cable to attach the slot-adapter with the DigaStudio Box. On the

slot-adapter use the upper connection, on the DigaStudio Box use the connection labelled PC.

2.3 PC software

The necessary software is included on diskette or will be sent via email1. The software is comprised of

the two files DSINTERFACE.EXE and DIGASTUDIO.EXE.

Proceed as follows to install the software:

1. Copy the two files into any directory on your computer. If the DigAS system is already installed on

your system then copy the two files into the DigAS system root.

2. First start the interface driver DSINTERFACE.EXE. In the system tray this program’s icon

should be visible.

3. Click with the right mouse button on this icon and from the context menu select

the option SHOW. This brings up a larger window with the name DigaStudio In-

terface Manager.

1In the future the latest updates can be downloaded from our mailbox. Information concerning updates is

available in our ISDN mailbox and on our internet homepage http://www/david-gmbh.de.

4. Click on the COM port button. A

window for RS-232 properties ap-

pears. Enter the paramters as

shown here. Make sure that you

choose the correct COM port, that

is, the one on the PC to which the

interface cable is connected. As a

rule this will be either COM1 or

COM2. When you have finished

entering all the necessary parame-

ters click on the OK button.

5. If the correct COM port has been selected then immediately after clicking on the OK button you

should receive the message „Serial thread started!„ in the output area of the DigaStudio Interface

Manager. If this is not the case then either the false COM port was selected or a resource conflict

exists (another application is using the COM port). If necessary correct the situation by repeating

step 4.

6. Close the window by clicking on the HIDE button. The icon should still be visible in the

system tray.

7. If required you should put a shortcut to the DigaStudio Interface Manager in the Windows

Autostart folder so that the program is started automatically when the PC is started. Follow the

instructions in the Windows manual if you do not know how to do this.

8. The DigaStudio Interface Manager can also be shut down via the CLOSE button in the context

menu (see step 3) should, for example, the serial interface be required by another program.

The PC software is now installed and ready for operation. Also, if you require, you can put a shortcut to

the DigaStudio Manager (program file DIGASTUDIO.EXE) on your desktop. This makes starting the

DigaStudio Manager more convenient.

3Beginning of Operation

3.1 DigaStudio

Switch on the DigaStudio Box by means of the power switch on the front panel. Box and Desk will then

perform a short initialization sequence (about 5 seconds) and when completed the last operational

configuration is automatically loaded. The DigaStudio can now use all the DigaStudio Desk supported

functions independently of the PC.

3.2 PC software

1. First start the interface driver DSINTERFACE.EXE if this has not already been done via

the Autostart folder. The respective icon should be visible in the system tray.

2. Start the actual application DIGASTUDIO.EXE.

In the upper left corner the DigaStudio Man-

ager appears.

3. Clicking on the middle button brings up the DigaStudio Configuration Manager (DigaStudio Pa-

rameter Setup screen). Here you can configure all necessary settings.2

2Note: depending on when the software was delivered it is possible that some functions are not available (e.g.

TimeStamps etc.). Updates will be available at a later date. Information about the latest software releases is

available in our ISDN mailbox and on our internet homepage http://www/david-gmbh.de.

4Configuration

In this section a few important configuration steps are described which can only be performed via the

PC software. A more extensive description will be contained in the DigaStudio User Manual, which will

be available at a later date.

As a general rule the last active system configuration prior to the system being turned off is retained

and is loaded unchanged when the system is turned back on.

4.1 Manual configuration

Manual configuration is performed by means of

the DigaStudio Parameter Setup. This can be

started by clicking on the second button of the
