Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Midiman BiPort 2x4s Serial Port MIDI

Interface. The BiPort 2x4s offers professional MIDI and SMPTE perfor-

mance in an external interface that attaches to any standard PC serial

port, or Macintosh printer or modem port.

The BiPort 2x4s is based on proven Midiman serial port MIDI interface

and SMPTE synchronization technologies. The BiPort 2x4s has the fol-

lowing features:

• Cross-Platform: 9-pin mini DIN connector works with both PC and

Mac computers. The BiPort 2x4s automatically detects connection to

a PC or Mac.

• Operates as a MIDI interface and a stand-alone SMPTE

reader/writer/regenerator.

• Four independent MIDI Outs and two MIDI Ins provide 64 channels

of MIDI output and 32 channels of MIDI input.

• Large high-performance data buffers ensure full MIDI throughput

with no data loss.

• Built-in SMPTE Time Code reader/writer/regenerator supports all

standard time code formats (24, 25, 29.97, 30-drop, 30 non-drop), and

is completely controllable via Front Panel pushbuttons and the

included Remote Control software.

• Supports SMPTE User Bits, set by incoming SMPTE or by Remote

Control software.

• Adjustable SMPTE flywheel and Jam Sync.

•“Mac Thru” switch allows you to activate or bypass the unit so you

can retain your Mac modem or printer connection.

• Windows and MacOS drivers included.

• Drivers are multi-client and support full MIDI bandwidth on all

ports — even when using multiple programs. Multiple BiPort 2x4s

units may operate simultaneously.

• Industry standard MME compatible for the PC, OMS compatible for

Mac.
