MIDI Cable D A C B B TM BiPort 2x4s Mac/PC MIDI Interface with SMPTE A 1 Next, connect a single MIDI cable from BiPort MIDI In-A to MIDI Out-A (the front two MIDI jacks) of the BiPort 2x4s. This cable will be used to “loop back” MIDI data - the BiPort will transmit MIDI data from Out-A and receive/verify it at In-A. IMPORTANT: When performing this test be sure that BiPort MIDI In-A and MIDI Out-A are connected properly with a standard MIDI cable. Otherwise the diagnostics program will indicate that your unit is failing the test. Now connect the SMPTE In jack to the SMPTE Out jack using a single standard male-to-male 1/4” phone cable. This cable will be used to “loop back” and verify SMPTE data. Standard 1/4” Cable D A C B B A Out In Out In TM BiPort 2x4s Mac/PC MIDI Interface with SMPTE Move the cursor down to the “Run Tests” line and press . The program should run through five separate tests. If any of these tests fail, go back and make sure that you have followed the setup instructions exactly. Once the first run of tests has passed, toggle the settings on the “Loopback” line of the diagnostics screen to verify other MIDI input and SMPTE 18 SMPTE 1
output ports. Move the connecting MIDI loopback cable to match the setting on the diagnostic program screen and re-run the tests to make sure that all of your BiPort inputs and outputs are working properly. Mac Diagnostic Application Included with your BiPort 2x4s is Remote Control and Diagnostic software that enables you to configure and control your BiPort 2x4s SMPTE functions directly from your computer, as well as the diagnostic test for basic BiPort functionality. The diagnostic test for Macintosh is contained within the Remote Control software. To install the BiPort 2x4s Remote Control & Diagnostic application onto your Macintosh, first insert the disk entitled “BiPort 2x4s Mac Drivers & Remote Control Software” into your floppy disk drive. When the disk icon appears, double click on it. Next, locate the file “BiPort Remote”, click on it and drag it onto your hard drive. Double clicking on the BiPort Remote application from your hard drive will then open the BiPort 2x4s Remote Control. Open the Select Menu, then click Diagnostics. This will bring up the BiPort diagnostic test for Macintosh computers. Running the test is almost identical to running the test for the PC, as described on pages 18- 20 in your BiPort manual. The Diagnostic test page will show you the Device Port that the BiPort is connected to, the “Loopback:” test that will be performed with a dropdown menu to select other configurations (the default is Out A to In A), plus a “Passes” list that allows you to select how many times the diagnostic will run (the default is 1 pass). To perform this test you must create a MIDI “loopback” by taking one MIDI cable and plugging one end into Input-A, and the other end into Output-A (as illustrated on page 18). Also, a single standard male to male phone cable must be plugged in-between the SMPTE In and Out on the BiPort’s back panel (also shown on page 18). Once this has been done, click the “Run Tests” button. This will perform a series of 5 tests described on pages 19 and 20 of the manual. Refer to these pages and the troubleshooting guide if your unit fails any of these tests. To test the functionality of other MIDI ports on the BiPort, pull down the “Loopback:” menu and select another configuration, e.g. Out B to In B. You will now need to plug your loopback MIDI cable from Input B to Output B (in this case). Once again, click Run Tests. 19
