Logic 7 - Firewire breakout boxes

Has anyone tried the Echo firewire interfaces? Are they stable and compatible with G5, Tiger and Logic 7? Especially running more than one unit as an aggregate device?
I've been having firewire bandwidth problems with my two Motu 828MkII's....
Thanks,

Thanks for taking the time to answer guys. Here's the latest:
I don't have any duplicate instruments in the environment, and this bug
effects all instruments and midi instrument tracks, both in the Environment
and on the Arrange page.
Both of the boxes you mentioned are unchecked. (Used Instrument MIDI
settings and All fader values.)
The program change number that is inserted is "0" in every case.
c) I checked my Audio Midi setup, and there were two instances of Unitor 8
there, so I eliminated one, and re-opened some sequences from the G5.
Same result.
To restate the problem:
I have many sequences on my G5 created in Logic 7.2.1, with almost all of
the "Send Program Change" boxes unchecked on both the Arrange Page and
in the Midi Environment layer. Just opening the sequences on the Mac Pro
3.0, running Logic 7.2.2, results in all these Send Program Change boxes
being checked, and sending program change "0", when you select them.
To import a clean environment, and re-assign all the tracks is very time-consuming. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Does no one make a Firewire to HDMI breakout box?

Back in the day I used a small inexpensive ($200) analog breakout box to get SD video from my PowerMac G5 workstation to a broadcast NTSC monitor. Firewire ran from the mac to the box, and Final Cut treated the box as if it were a camera or a deck receiving signal. The box had component out which ran to the monitor. Relatively inexpensive and worked great.
What I'm wondering is why I can't find a similar solution for HDMI in today's HD digital world? With a Mac Pro you can just send an HD signal directly to a second or third monitor, but with a MacBook Pro you can only connect one display so if you're already using an external display there's no way to also send a signal to a video monitor. Are there no options that don't involve $2,000+ AJA boxes? Thanks.

Well thankfully the Macbook Pro to which I am referring is in fact a 17" model with expresscard slot. So what I'd need is this $449 Matrox MX02 Mini?

That's actually not too bad. I mean it sure beats having to buy a $2,000 breakout box.

Audigy 4 Breakout Box/Firewire Prob

Hi. Just purchased a new computer within the last month with a SB Audigy 4 Pro. I couldn't get the breakout box to respond after repeated attempts, so I assumed it was faulty hardware and had a replacement shipped. The replacement came and I am having teh same problem with it, no breakout box response. I tried plugging the firewire power supply for the breakout box into a free firewire port from teh motherboard, and got the power LED to light up, so assumedly the hardware/cable/PCI card are all working and it was a driver error. After I got the LED light, I went ahead and wiped the Audigy drivers, and reinstalled. After a reinstall, the breakout box powered on in both the motherboard, and Audigy firewire ports. It worked with limited functionality (Headphone/microphone jacks were not working) for about an hour as I toyed with settings to attempt to get those imput output jacks to respond, and after a certain settings change, the soundblaster software required a restart. Since that restart I am back to square with no functionality in the Audigy firewire port and a power LED light in the motherboard port. Is there somewhere I can download an updated firewire driver for the SB, and if I can get the box to work again, what could be causing the unresponsi've I/O ports on the front?

Alright some success again. After a little playing with the adlink cable and a couple restarts, I have the breakout box working again. TThe power and CMSS lights are on and the volume control knob works. I am still unable to hear any sound out of headphones, or to get any input from the mic port. I have tried 2 sets of heaadphones, and a second converter for the plug with no success. The sound is muted from the speakers when I insert a headphone into the jack, so the system is recognizing headphones as present, I just don't get any sound. Any suggestions?

Looking into breakout boxes

yes breakout box,a/v deck,analog to digital convertor whatever youd like to call it..
i went to a computer store today they only had a few and the only one that exported it into firewire said nothing about Macs on the back so i didnt buy it..just looking for something not to silly exspesive just to have rca and s video inputs and a FW output..thanks

Hi Ian,
I use the Canopus ADVC-100 and ADVC-110 (current model). They work great. Street price is around $220 USD The Datavideo unit that Ian Brown mentioned is a good unit also. For what it's worth, I would be cautious about the Miglia Director's Cut boxes, a fair number of people I know have had problems with them.
You don't have to worry about Mac vs PC if you are using an external converter.
The other thing you might consider, is to use your video cam as your analog/digital converter - as long as it supports AV/DV passthrough.

Breakout box question

Hi all anyone recommend a cheap but decent breakout box that will work with my FCP set up. I have a G5 a sony DSR Dvcam deck and a mixer with xlr outs. Someone suggested a black magic card with lots of audio outs but its £500! Anyone know of something that will work for less. I'm running FCP 6. I have a mic connected to the mixer and want to use the mixer to monitor the levels into and out of the deck, FCP and mic.
Many thanks

Connect the mixer to your DVCam VTR's analog audio inputs and outputs. When you need to record with the mic to your Mac, simply switch the DVCam VTR's input to Video or S-Video. When monitoring the output of FCP, switch the DVCam VTR's input to DV (Firewire).

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro- Breakout Box/ AD_LINK Cable Broke

I purchased an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro from Creative's eBay store this past January. It was described as refurbished with a -year warranty. It worked fine for several months under both Windows XP 64-bit and Linux (amd64 arch). Then, the breakout box just stopped working. At first I thought it was a driver issue, so I tried reinstalling everything- no luck. Then I realized that not even the power light came on on the box. I tried putting the card in another PCI slot, rearranging cables.
I contacted Creative several months ago and after several email arguments and hour-long phone calls, I gave up. They insisted that they only offer 90-day warranties for their ebay auctions... Being so much later, the ebay auction link was dead- no way for me to prove anything. Creative's best offer was to RMA it for $0+shipping or something ridiculous like that.
I don't want to buy a whole new card because I now it works to some extent- it shows up under 'lspci' in Linux and in Windows Device manager. I suspect it is either the cable or the breakout box but I really have no idea.
Any way I could test this- and even if, how can I purchase just the box or the cable by themselves- I couldn't find anything online.
Any ideas?Message Edited by phoneloserchi on 2-22-20072:28 PM

No, I'm afraid it is not, the X-Fi does not have the same connector for that breakout box.

Why do we use the CAN breakout box.

Hi,
I am relatively new to the CAN networks and i am having some difficulties understanding some basic concepts and i would be grateful if someone can help me out.
so my questions are as follows:
what's the use of the CAN breakout box apart from providing external power?
i am working with the following equipments
NI - 9862 and NI cDAQ-9174 chassis.
I would like to know what model of CAN controler is present in the NI 9862 module and where is the microcontroler found, in the Ni 9862 module or Chassis?
Thanking you in advance.

Bonjour,
je suis nouveau en ce qui concerne le réseau CAN et j'ai du mal à comprendre des petits chose. Je veux savoir quel modèle de controleur CAN est présent dans le NI-9862?
où se trouve le microcontroleur dans le chassis ou le module ni-9862?
est-ce que je peut connecter 2 modules NI 9862 directement sans passer par le boitier d'extension?
Cordialement.

Here is the data sheet for the 9862.
http://www.ni.com/datasheet/pdf/en/ds-97
The 9862 includes everything except the chassis. A USB or Ethernet based cDAQ chassis is all you'll need to read and write CAN using the XNET library which I'm a big fan of. Or if you are wanting to go the embedded design you'll want a cRIO chassis, or one of the chassis with an embedded PC which can run head-less. These get a lot more expensive and you'll want to make sure the chassis is compatible with the 9862 some of the older ones are not.

Problem with LOGIC AUDIO 5 (BIG BOX) any Help is Useful

Hi,
I just sold my old Logic 5 Audio (big Box) on Ebay, but the new owner claims that he can't install the software without a serial(In my opinnion he should be able to install when he has the XSKey). Where can I ask for the serial, because I don't have it anymore.
The XSKey is: 000009432201434
XSKey Firmware 23-0
I would be pleased for any help that you can give me.

Hi,
If my memory serves me well, there were serial numbers for the soft synths that were included in the Big box version. Those serials had to be entered in the XSKey via Logic. But if you used those and entered the serials while the product was yours, they should be in the key already. Are you sure the buyer understands he(she) has to plug the key on the computer? Maybe the XSKey needs to be updated? Good luck...

Audigy 2 ZS Breakout Box stopped work

Hardware:: Audigy 2 ZS (Internal Breakout Box)Im not sure what has happened, I had my power supply fail over the weekend and now my breakbox wont work, everything is hooked up correctly, Ive triple checked everything. I have read thru many other threads where people have had the same problem and have tried what everyone has suggested still not works. I have the proper drivers, volume is up, its getting power, I can see the optical out glowing red, Ive tried 2 different sets of speakers and headphones, still nothing. Everything works fine from the card its self. I even have a second card here that I tried using, still nothing. Could my power supply have damaged it's
----EDIT----
Ok, so 22 views now and no reply? whats going on? This is a great product but the support is total **bleep**! Not to mention all you poor people on vista, wow, I thought you guys were like the best of the best? A simple yes or no would suffice so i know if I need to buy a new one.Message Edited by CademiaX on 05-07-200706:28 PM

Try swapping with another power connector for the I/O dri've bay. Some other users in the forum mention before that swapping with another power connector for the I/O dri've help fix some problem they encounter.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Can't get breakout box to w

Hi, I bought an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum from a friend, and he had lost the driver CD. I connected it and used the drivers I got off Creative's website, and the card works perfectly, but I can't get the breakout box to work. I connected it internally to the card, I don't know what else is left to do. Are the drivers the problem, do I need a specific app to make it work, or is it maybe a connection problem?

Hey!?Big Problem... my break-out-box doesn't work any more, too.... but it is powered on!?There is no possibility to use the mute function, IR-control, CMSS-Control or to do anything else with it... simply dead, although it is powered on. LED is green and at the optical out i have a red one shining. I tried cleansweap and reinstall drivers, nothing changed the situation. Cable are correctly connected, i didn't change the last years. I'm also missing the extended connection possibilitys in my "sound and speakers" options... formerly there where a lot more, now there are only?fi've or six controller bars.WHAT HAS HAPPEND? Is it normal that there are three steps with the CMSS options like: CMSS, CMSS2 and STEREO SOUND? I remember that formerly there was also CMSS3... correct? Maybe this is another wrong thing... Any hints regarding this box and controller problem?Thanks a lot in advance,Alabaster

K3 Breakout Box and HD Monitor

Hello everyone,
I am just trying to confirm something here. In regards to the Sony PVM-14L/5, I read that you don't need the HD-SDI board to monitor the HD footage. Instead, if you have a Kona card and a Breakout Box, you can connect the two using the component outputs/inputs. What confuses me is that the PVM offers both component and composite, but the K3 Box offers only composite.
Has anyone tried or heard of this working? I hope it does; would love to save $1200.
Thanks In Advance!
~Athen

Just got the confirmation, the K3 does offer component and so it will work with the PVM as a direct feed; no need for the HD-SDI board.
Spectacular!
