2.2 Operational requirements
There are three essential elements that must be met for compatibility with the LT-FW:
1. The host computer must have a compatible and functional FireWire interface.
2. The host computer must meet the system requirements necessary for correct functioning
of the LT-FW.
3. The Aurora must have firmware revision 18 or above.
It also is important to note that most professional audio applications place significant
demands on your computer’s resources, and it is therefore recommended that you meet or
exceed the recommended system requirements for your Digital Audio Workstation software,
which will likely be greater than those listed for the LT-FW. Please refer to your audio
software’s documentation for more information.
2.2.1 FireWire Chipsets
The Aurora/LT-FW can be used with most OHCI compliant FireWire adapters and integrated
FireWire ports on laptop and desktop computers. It is a FW400 (IEEE-1394a) device, but
FW800 (IEEE-1394b) interfaces should also work with the appropriate adapter cable, as
backwards compatibility is integral to the IEEE-1394b specification.
2.2.2 Windows
Pentium III class computer or better
¾ 64 MB RAM
¾ One OHCI compliant FW400 (IEEE-1394a) or FW800 (IEEE-1394b) port
