Lynx Aurora 8 FW/ External Hard drive propblem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a suspicion that the other FW port is there because the back plate of the card was built by another manufacturer.  I have been told by Lynx that it is better to connect only one Aurora using FW, and then use the digital inputs to connect a second unit. This is possible using firmware version 15. The latest version disables the digital i/o (which many people do not use) to allow greater stability. I personally use version 15 because I am using both the analog and digital i/o while working large video shoots.  

Regards;
Danny

	Ok thanks Danny. So the other port is only to link another Aurora?

	You should absolutely NOT use FW to connect anything other than the Lynx Aurora to your computer. Use USB to connect your hard drives. You will encounter drop outs, synch loss and other digital noise if you try to use anything other than 1 Aurora on Firewire. Regards; Danny
