FireWire requires a consistent stream between the chipset in the host computer and the chipset in the SCS1 device Unfortunately some FireWire chipsets have known issues when it comes to the reliability and synchronization required for streaming audio It is suggested to use name brand PCI and PCMCIA cards such as Adaptec when your PC does not have FireWire capabilities as some no name or OEM FireWire cards will use chipsets of FireWire that have subpar performance and can affect stability or at worst the device will not work at all Stanton recommends the Texas Instruments FireWire chips for streaming audio It is also suggested to stay away from Agere chipsets as in testing issues have been identified with these chipsets Most Apple computers utilize Texas Instruments chipsets However it was reported that in late 2007 Apple had switched to Agere chipsets for some production runs The easiest way to check if you have a Texas Instruments chipset is to run Device Manager and check the name of your host controller Figure A 23 Es Device Manager File Action View Help 9 X a 4 IDE ATA ATAPI controllers Gy IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller 8 Imaging devices Figure A 23 45 To register your Stanton product on line please visit http www stantondj com v2 login_product asp Model Type Model No Serial No Date of Purchase Dealer s Name Your Name
