Dolby Digital is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Dolby Laboratories encourages use of the Dolby Digital
trademark to identify soundtracks that are encoded in Dolby Digital. This is an effective way to inform listeners of the
soundtrack format, and the use of a standard logo promotes easy recognition in the marketplace. However, like any
trademark, the Dolby Digital logo may not be used without permission. Dolby Laboratories therefore provides a
standard trademark license agreement for companies who wish to use Dolby trademarks. This agreement should be
signed by the company that owns the program material being produced. Recording studios or production facilities
which provide audio production or encoding services for outside clients generally do not require a trademark license. If
you would like more information on obtaining a Dolby trademark license, please contact Dolby Laboratories Licensing
Corporation. Information on trademark licensing plus instructions for using the Dolby Digital trademark and marking
audio formats can also be found online at http://www.dolby.com.

SonicStudio HD Configuration Guide
This configuration guide is designed to give you detailed information on CPU configurations,
SCSI peripherals, fibre channel networking and High-Density Audio™ operation for
SonicStudio HD™ HDSP-based systems.
This document supersedes any previous information you may have received on these topics.
Sonic recommends that all HDSP upgrade customers spend time reviewing this information
prior to installing HDSP upgrades. This can help save time during the installation and may
eliminate problems that might otherwise arise.
If you have any questions about configurations or a customer installation, please contact Sonic

SCSI Drives
SonicStudio HD supports a wide variety of SCSI peripherals. Previously-qualified hard disks
used with SonicStudio USP/SSP systems, that maintain a data-rate of 3.75 MB or higher, should
work with SonicStudio HD. Drives with lower data-rates may also be operable with SonicStudio
HD, however the data bandwidth may significantly reduce the number of disc channels
available.
Sonic recommends that the HDSP Workstation be configured with Seagate Cheetah drives
(ST118202LW – request LVD cables and terminators if using Adaptec 2940U2W and no
DLT/Exabyte/CD-R/ or DVD-R).
