FireWire Panel

The UAD FireWire Panel (Figure 13 on page 64) is where settings specific to

UAD-2 Satellite and Apollo are configured (FireWire settings do not apply to

UAD PCI/PCIe devices). UAD-2 Satellite and Apollo are external UAD de-

vices that connect via FireWire as opposed to PCI/PCIe or ExpressCard.

Note: The FireWire Panel is only displayed if UAD-2 Satellite and/or Apollo

is connected.

FireWire System The FireWire System parameters pertain to the configuration of the FireWire

bus. These settings affect UAD-2 Satellite and Apollo performance and can

also affect external FireWire audio interface and hard drive performance if

they are connected to the same FireWire bus.

The primary function of the FireWire System settings is to reduce the UAD-2

Satellite FireWire bandwidth allocation and/or link speed when other

FireWire devices are on the same bus, or if other performance issues arise.

Note: The FireWire System settings cannot be changed when UAD plug-ins

are loaded. Quit all UAD plug-in host software to make changes to these set-

tings.

Important: FireWire device connection methods can affect the FireWire

bus speed. See “FireWire Bandwidth” on page 109 for details.
