Unpacking

Open the box from the top and remove cabling.

Lift out Styrofoam insert, then using both hands lift out Studio Konnekt 48.

Remove plastic bag from Konnekt.

Inspect your Studio Konnekt 48 for signs of transit damage.

In the unlikely event of this having occurred, inform the carrier and the supplier.

Keep all the packaging if damage has occurred, as this will show evidence of excessive handling force.

It is also a good idea to keep the packaging if possible for future transportation.

Safety Instructions

Quick Start Guide

Computer Requirements

Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard

PowerPC (1 GHz or faster) or Intel CPU

512 MB RAM

FireWire (IEEE 1394) port*

OS X 10.4.1 or 10.5

Windows XP SP2 or Vista x32

Pentium 4, 1.6 GHz or faster

512 MB RAM

FireWire (IEEE 1394) port*

Windows XP or Vista 32 bit

*We recommend running Konnekt units on a dedicated FireWire bus. If your computer has one or more FireWire connections on the chassis they will typically run on the same FireWire bus. You may connect the Konnekt to one of these. If you intend to run more FireWire devices simultaneously, such as e.g. an external hard drive, we recommend running this device on a separate bus.

This would typically be on an installed FireWire PCI card. Note that such a FireWire PCI card typically has 3 ports but these also operate on a single bus.

Software installation

Be sure that you have the latest software. Download the latest software from www.tcelectronic.com/software

We recommend installing the software before connecting the Studio Konnekt 48.

Refer to the Konnekt Installation Guide supplied in the package and on the Konnekt CD.

If you are familiar with software installation procedures in general you may simply insert the accompanying CD-ROM in your computer’s CD drive and follow the instructions.

TC Near control panel

If Konnekt drivers are installed correctly you are able to open the TCNear control panel.

On Windows computers:

Press: Start/Programs/TC Electronic/TC Near

The TC Near can also be accessed via the Windows Control panel.

On Mac computers: /Applications/TC Near

You may also start the application from System Preferences.
