M-Audio MIDISPORT 8x8/s [30/52] Configuration names

NOTE: The MIDISPORT Remote Control software loads with a

preset for each of the SMPTE frame rates. These presets are

appropriately named for the way in which the frame rate is used.

You may use these as they are, or modify them and save them as

desired.

To Set SMPTE Frame Rate

Click the button next to the SMPTE frame rate that you wish to use. The LEDs

on the MIDISPORT front panel to the right of the Format button should reflect

these changes.

To Set Flywheel

Click on the slide fader and drag it until the desired setting is reached. The

number selected represents the number of frames that will be “tolerated” if a

dropout in the SMPTE that is being read has occurred.

To Set SMPTE Start Time

The SMPTE start time defaults to 1 hour. To change the SMPTE start time, click

on the box that contains the start time settings. Highlight the numbers in the

area you wish to change (Hours, Minutes, etc.) and enter the desired start time

values. The “Tab” key will move you to the next field. Click OK when you are

finished selecting the new start time.

To Set User Bits

User Bits are set to all zeros as the default. To change the user bit setting, click

on the User Bits box. Highlight the User Bits area you wish to change (there are

eight bits that can be encoded with information) and enter the desired single

digit. The “Tab” key will move you to the next field. Click on OK when you

have created the desired setting.

Configuration Names

When the Remote Control software loads, it reports the name of the saved or

pre-set configuration that matches the current SMPTE configuration settings.

When a configuration is loaded, the name of the current configuration is shown

in this area.

When a change is made to a configuration, an asterisk appears next to the

current configuration name until the setting is saved. Clicking on the

“Configuration Name:”text or the configuration name will open the “Load

Config” dialog box.
