Power Adaptor Input.
This is where you plug the provide power supply into the FP10. Please check
the power supply to ensure it is the correct voltage and plug type for your country.
Power Switch.
Push the top part of the switch to turn your FP10 on ( | ). Push the bottom part of the
switch to turn your FP10 off ( O ).
FireWire Ports.
There are two standard 6-pin FireWire ports on the back of the FP10. Either (and
only one) should be used to connect your FP10 to a vacant FireWire port on your computer. If your
computer has a 4-pin connector (commonly found on laptops), you will need a 4 to 6-pin connector to
connect your FP10 to your computer.
The ‘extra’ FireWire port is available for connecting additional FireWire devices in series such as
external Hard Drives or even additional FP10’s.
S/PDIF In and Out Jacks.
These allow the FP10 to receive and transmit audio from other digital audio
devices. The S/PDIF standard allows two channels of audio to be transmitted at rates up to
24bit/96kHz. The S/PDIF input also allows the FP10 to receive Word Clock – the synchronizing signal
indicating the sampling frequency or rate of sample words over a digital interface.
You must select ‘S/PDIF’ as the Clock Source in the FP10 Hardware Control Panel when using the
S/PDIF input. As of driver version 2.42, the S/PDIF input is disabled when using multiple FP10’s.
