After restart the driver will be installed and ready for use.
2.6 Using Multiple Hilos and/or Auroras
Up to six Lynx Aurora/TB and/or Hilo/TB interfaces can be daisy chained to a single Thunderbolt port. Each unit will
be addressable independently, and the combined I/O can be used by a DAW application.
Connecting multiple units requires consideration of the following:
2.6.1 Connect the cables
With the computer OFF, the first step is to connect the Thunderbolt and wordclock cables.
You will need one Thunderbolt patch cable for each Lynx LT-TB Interface in the system.
One cable should be connected from the computer’s Thunderbolt port to either port on the first unit. Then daisy chain
one at a time, from the open Thunderbolt port on unit 1, to either port on unit 2, out from unit 2 to unit 3, etc. It doesn’t
matter which port “receives” and which port “sends”.
Next we connect wordclock cables to each unit. If Hilo #1 is going to be the clock master, connect a wordclock cable
from unit #1 Wordclock Out, to unit #2 Wordclock In, then unit #2 Wordclock Out to unit #3 Wordclock In. etc.
If clock distribution is utilized, a single wordclock cable will go from each Hilo’s or Aurora’s “Wordclock In” port to
an output on the clock distributor. The Hilo and Aurora are self terminating, so there is no need for hardware
termination.
Make sure that the wordclock cables are 75Ω, and as close to the desired length as possible to avoid clock signal phase
issues.
2.6.2 Setting Device Order
When mixing Hilo/TB and Aurora/TB interfaces, it is possible to establish the device order for the Aurora units.
Information is available about this process from the Aurora/TB manual in section 8.1.2.
