FireWire Panel
The UAD FireWire Panel (Figure 13 on page 65) 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.
For more information about FireWire and using it with UAD-2 Satellite and
Apollo, see “FireWire Basics” on page 105, “FireWire Bandwidth vs. UAD
DSP” on page 111, and “FireWire Bus Power” on page 112.
