4 Introduction System Requirements • IBM PC compatible PCI bus Windows 95 computer • DS2416-compatible audio software System Notes The DS2416 can be used in any IBM PC-compatible PCI bus personal computer running Windows 95. The DS2416 requires a single 5 V PCI expansion bus slot, and cannot be used in 3.3 V PCI slots. It's compliant with PCI version 2.1, requires one IRQ (interrupt request), but no DMA (Direct Memory Access). Since it's a PCI card, IRQ settings are made automatically. PCI bus speeds greater than 33 MHz are not supported. Processor type, memory, and hard disk requirements are dependent on the controlling software, not the DS2416. The supplied device driver requires a few hundred kilobytes of disk space. Although the DS2416 supports 8-track simultaneous recording and 16-track simultaneous playback, actual performance will depend on the capabilities of your computer and audio software. Compatible Software Any software that supports Windows MME (Multimedia Extensions), including the Windows 95 Media Player accessory, can be used with the DS2416 for recording and playback. To use the mixing functions, however, requires software that supports the DS2416 mixer. As of April 1998, the following software companies are developing, or have already released software for the DS2416. Please visit the following Web sites for more information. • C-Mexx • Cakewalk • Canam Computers • Emagic • IQS (Innovative Quality Software) • Musicator • SEK'D • Sonic Foundry • Steinberg Audio software that doesn't support all the features of the DS2416 can still use a basic feature set. However, input and output patching is fixed, as shown in the "Fixed Patchbay Diagram" on page 25. The Windows 95 Volume Control can be used to set the stereo master fader and mute, and the level meters display the recording levels. DS2416-Owner's Manual
