Lynx Studio AES16 - Manual (Page 69)

8BConfiguring Multiple AES16’s
9.2 Adapter ID’s
When multiple AES16 cards are installed in a
computer they are automatically assigned unique
adapter ID numbers. These adapter ID’s provide
a means to identify and communicate with each
AES16 when using the Lynx Mixer application
and to select audio devices in third party
applications.
In the Lynx Mixer, the adapter that a user wishes
to control is selected from the “Window” pull-
down menu. In a system with four AES16’s the
adapters will be listed as follows:
AES16 1 Mixer
AES16 2 Mixer
AES16 3 Mixer
AES16 4 Mixer In each case, the adapter ID is the numeric
character just before the word “Mixer” in each
selection.
Most third party applications provide a setup or
configuration menu for selecting a desired wave
audio device for recording and playback. With
multiple AES16’s in a system, each device name
will contain the adapter ID. For example, the
first play device on adapter 2 is listed as “AES16
2 Play 1”.
9.3 Cable connections
Starting with the master AES16, insert the plug
on one end of a Lynx Internal Clock Cable into
the CLOCK OUT header, until it clicks and
locks into place. This header is polarized to
ensure the correct orientation of the cable plug. Insert the plug on the free end of the cable into
the CLOCK IN header, on the nearest slave
AES16. Connect each slave in a similar manner.
