ASIO/WDM BUFFER SIZE In this field you can select the buffer size you wish to
work with. Smaller buffer sizes result in lower latency (the time it takes for your
input signal to pass through your audio software and appear at the outputs), but
may not function well with slower systems. The default buffer size setting is 256.
This setting may adequately serve your purposes, but if you wish to, you can
experiment with lower settings. If you experience stuttering or crackling in your
audio playback, try using a larger buffer size.
SYNC SOURCE This field allows you to choose between the FireWire 410s
INTERNAL clock and an EXTERNAL clock source. INTERNAL selects the incoming
clock from the 1394 bus as set by your audio software. Use EXTERNAL when you
wish to record from the S/PDIF inputs, or otherwise lock to the sample rate from
an external S/PDIF source.
S/PDIF INPUT This field selects between TOSLink optical and RCA coaxial input
source. Note that both optical and coaxial outputs are available simultaneously,
but only one input source may be used at a time.
FIRMWARE INFO This field displays the current firmware version of your FireWire
410.
