2. Installation

System Recommendation

GIGAPort AG is not simply a standard digital audio interface card, but a high-resolution device

capable of advanced processing of audio content. Even though GIGAPort AG is built to have low-

CPU resource dependability, system specifications play a key part in the GIGAPort AGs

performance. Systems with more advanced components are generally recommended.

Minimum System Requirements

- Intel Pentium II 300MHz CPU or comparable AMD CPU (or equivalent) – we recommend at

least a Pentium III CPU with 600 MHz

- Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP operating system

- 1 available USB port

- at least 64MB RAM

- high quality audio software with ASIO support recommended

Mac

- Power Macintosh G3 or higher

- 1 available USB port

- at least 64MB RAM

- Mac OS 9.0 to 9.2X -or-

- Mac OS X 10.1 or higher

Hardware Installation

GIGAPort AG is simply connected to an available USB port of your computer. A separate power

supply is not required, as GIGAPort AG is a USB powered device. Simply install the hardware by

plugging it into your computer.

Driver Installation

After the connection of GIGAPort AG, the operating system automatically detects it as a new

hardware device. Modern operating systems like Windows XP or Mac OS X usually detect the

hardware directly and are installing the correct USB audio drivers automatically.

ESI GIGAPort AG

You can use GIGAPort AG already now in typical consumer audio applications that do not need

special professional ASIO driver support. Under Windows XP this could be for example programs

used for DVD playback or more simple DJ applications that don’t require ASIO. Unter Mac OS X

this could be applications like Garageband.

The following section descrives the installation of our spezial driver software under Windows XP.

The procedure is similar with other versions of Windows.

Installation under Windows XP

Unplug the device before you start the installer. Then launch setup.exe from the ESI/GIGAPort AG

folder of the included driver CD or from a download of a recent driver from our website. You can

select the language used for installation, then the following dialog appears:

Choose Install the driver. The following window appears:

Accept the license agreement and then click on Instal. Now 1:1 follow the instructions on screen

through out the installation process.

ESI GIGAPort AG

The installer will instruct you to plug-in the USB device to the computer. The detection can always

take a moment.

If you are told to do so like seen above, please unplug the device again, before you will be told to

plug it in again. If that happens, please wait again until the detection (like described above) is

completed.

ESI GIGAPort AG

The completion of the installation can be confirmed on the screen above with Exit.

Congratulations! You have now completed the installation of the spezial ASIO driver successfully

and the installation of GIGAPort AG has been completed now.

With the installer, you can also remove the driver again. If you want to do that, launch setup.exe

again and then choose the option Uninstall the driver. This can be required if you want to use the

standard functionality of Windows to use GIGAPort AG without ASIO drivers.

3. Setting in Applications

This chapter contains basic configuration examples for some popular software applications. Please

always also refer to the manual of every audio software you use for detailed information.

ASIO Control Panel

Nearly all ASIO applications provide a button labeled ASIO Control Panel in the audio device

settings dialog that allows you to open the control panel window of the ASIO driver. The settings

done there are used for all ASIO applications, even though the dialog is only opened directly from

within an application:

ESI GIGAPort AG

Under Devices you can select the Samplerate. In the Ditherung area, the record resolution can be

selected. An important setting is under System performance, it covers the output latency that is

critical for many applications such as software synthesizers.

Launch Reason and go to Edit > Preferences > Page > Audio, then choose the GIGAPort AG ASIO

Driver.

ESI GIGAPort AG
