Helix Board Control Panel - Phonic Helix Board 18 Universal Manual Del Usuario

HELIX BOARD CONTROL PANEL

The Helix Board Universal control panel can be accessed
at any time by entering choosing the shortcut from your
Programs menu. This program will not only allow users
to alter their device and channel names and properties,
but will also let them correct for latency issues, change
sampling rates, and so forth. When opening the software,
a number of options will be available for users to select
from, allowing them to adjust the available properties.
Devices
In the Devices section, users are able to view and edit
the name of the Phonic Devices connected to their com-
puter.
Input Channels
The Input Channels section allows users to view and edit
the name of the various input channels received from the
FireWire / USB input. For a list of default channel names,
please consult the table on page 17.

Output Channels
By entering the Output Channels section, users can view
and edit the names of the two output channels from the
computer to the Helix Board 18 Universal mixer.
Synchronization
In the Synchronization section, users can adjust the sam-
pling rate and other synchronization properties. Many of
these adjustable properties, as they are, are set for opti-
mum performance and, unless you are sure of what you
need to change, are probably best left alone.
First off, the synch mode can be altered, though mak-
ing this alteration is not recommended for novice users.
The synch mode is basically the way the computer deter-
mines what the 'clock source' (ie. device that your com-
puter will use to determine the timing of all digital signals
received) will be. The default setting for this feature is
"CSP", meaning the Helix Board 18 Universal is the "mas-
ter" clock source of the device. The other options allow
users to make the Helix Board 18 Universal follow the
"timing" of whichever device is the clock source. Having
two clock sources has the potential to create very unde-
sireable audio, so it should be avoided. If the Helix Board
18 Universal is the only piece of digital audio equipment
attached to the computer, there is no reason this option
should be changed.
