New and improved: USB 2.0 Hub 12+1 Port with 2.1A iCharge Port Powered with Power Supply

USB 2.0 Hub 12+1 Port with 2.1A iCharge Port Powered with Power SupplyTired of wrangling multiple USB 2.0 hubs? Synchrotech's 12+1 Port USB 2.0 Hub with 2.1A iCharge Port provides host computers with 12+1 additional USB ports and allows flexible tiered USB configurations with a single hub! This robust and inexpensive hub runs in self powered mode and provides over current protection at each of its downstream ports. Fully USB 2.0 compliant and USB 1.1 backward compatible, it supports low, full, and high speed USB devices and works with any system that supports the USB specification. Providing thirteen downstream ports, this hub features plug and play installation and transparent operation. This hub is fully backward compatible with USB 1.1 and will work with systems and devices using the slower standard. It comes with a free power supply with a generous 4 ampere capacity, and USB 2.0 cable to connect to a host computer.

The new model of this hub trades one data port for a high-current capacity 'iCharge" port for devices requiring 2.1 Amperes to charge, like the iPad®. The charging port is not a data port and does not allow syncing or any other functionality other than device charging. However, this lack of data transfer on the iCharge port does have a distinct advantage—the hub doesn't need to be connected to a computer in order to charge a device. The other 12 ports allow for syncing and other standard USB 2.0 operations for connected devices.

Using large USB Hard Drives with the MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC Smart TV Player

MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC Smart TV Players from SynchrotechBecause of its abilities as a home media and entertainment center, we wanted to make sure the MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC Smart TV Player was able to work with USB 2.0 Hard Drive Disks (HDD) in addition to portable USB 2.0 Flash Drives mentioned in its marketing materials.

We plugged a 340GB USB 2.0 HDD into the MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC Smart TV Player's USB port and the entire drive was accessible, and we were able to play various media files off the drive. This means large media libraries can be deployed without concerns about the relatively limited capacities of USB Flash Drives. We don't know if there's a capacity ceiling for USB HDDs used with the MK802, but we will continue to test various USB 2.0 Hard Drives with the device as time permits and post any results here.

Updated Sony Driver Transforms Sonnet's Echo ExpressCard Adapter Fastest and Least Expensive SxS Memory Card Reader with Thunderbolt Technology

Sonnet Echo Thunderbolt to ExpressCard/34 AdapterSonnet Technologies announced on April 16, 2012 that the Echo™ ExpressCard® Thunderbolt™ Adapter, which enables the use of many Sonnet ExpressCard/34 cards with computers equipped with a Thunderbolt port—including the latest Apple® iMac®, Mac® mini, MacBook Air®, and MacBook® Pro models—can now function as an SxS™ memory card reader. Sonnet supported Sony® in its work to create a Thunderbolt technology-compatible Mac OS® X driver to enable this functionality. This updated driver also enables full functionality of Sonnet’s Qio™ E3 professional SxS media reader, when connected through the Echo adapter to a computer with a Thunderbolt port.

High-performance SxS memory cards are used in Sony’s popular XDCAM® EX™ line of professional HD camcorders and the ARRI® ALEXA line of digital cameras, and share the same form factor and connector as ExpressCard/34 adapter cards. These shared traits make ingesting footage from SxS media a quick, simple task in ExpressCard slot-equipped notebook computers. In any other situation, this process requires the use of a specialized media reader, such as Sonnet’s Qio™ pro media readers with multiple SxS slots for speedy file offloads. With the added capability to read SxS, SxS Pro™, and SxS-1™ cards, the Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter instantly becomes the least expensive high-speed SxS memory card reader available, enabling Thunderbolt technology-equipped Mac computers to read SxS cards at over 100 MB/s.

When used with the Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter, users can connect Sonnet’s Qio E3 professional SxS media reader, with its ExpressCard/34 interface card, to compatible computers with a Thunderbolt port. This setup supports concurrent data transfers from SxS memory cards in all three slots for even faster file ingest speeds.

“With the installation of Sony’s Thunderbolt technology-compatible driver for Mac OS X, Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter users gain the ability to ingest footage through a small, rugged adapter using the latest I/O technology to improve workflow speeds significantly,” said Robert Farnsworth, CEO of Sonnet Technologies. “This new driver benefits users of our Qio E3 professional media reader, enabling them to connect their readers to Thunderbolt technology-equipped computers through the Echo ExpressCard adapter and ingest footage from multiple SxS memory cards at the same time.”

Developed by Intel® and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple, Thunderbolt technology supports high-performance data services and high-resolution displays through a single compact port. The Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter supports PCI Express technology with 2.5 Gbps throughput in both directions. The Sonnet adapter connects directly to a computer or at the end of a Thunderbolt device chain with a Thunderbolt cable, which is available at the Apple Store®.

“Thunderbolt delivers unparalleled performance, flexibility and simplicity to personal computing.” said Jason Ziller, Intel’s director of Thunderbolt marketing. “The Sonnet Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter and Qio E3 help highlight what Thunderbolt technology makes possible.”

The Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter—part number ECHO-E34—is compatible with all Apple computers running Mac OS X that are equipped with Thunderbolt ports. It is available now at a suggested retail price of $149.95 through Sonnet and Sonnet resellers.

A link to the driver is below. It says nothing about the Thunderbolt compatibility on the downloads page. As of this morning, the actual version of the driver that gets downloaded is 1.1.0.03142 (even though the text on Sony's site says "Latest Version for Mac : Ver:1.0.52020") http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/cat-recmedia/resource.downloads.bbsccms-assets-mkt-recmedia-downloads-upgrades.shtml

About The Memory Card Explorer (MCE) Demo And MCE In General

MCE 3.21 was the final revision of the software, released in January of 2005.

Elan Digital Systems Ltd. was placed into liquidation in late 2011, and is no longer manufacturing any products or updating any software. This means, to all intents and purposes, MCE is an End Of Life product (discontinued).

We have some excellent alternatives, including a stand alone software package and portable PC Card readers with that software bundled. We strongly recommend all our customers consider those options since they are current and maintained products that run under modern versions of The Windows, whereas MCE's compatibility ended with the 32-bit version of Windows XP.

The product line we recommend is from CSM/IPI and you can view the whole range of their products, including USB 2.0 based PC Card Drive/software bundles on this page:

PCMCIA PC Card Manager Software for OMNIDrives and SoftDrive Professional

OmniDrive devices and their related software work with all modern Windows installations, including the 64-bit version of Windows 7. PC Card Manager and SoftDrive Professional offer all the same capabilities of MCE including the ability to erase, checksum, query, copy to and from, and create byte-for-byte binary images of PCMCIA PC Card memory devices.

All that said, there are still installations of Windows XP and older that will run MCE. In some cases, customers have a reason for running the software and or this demo version -- frequently to identify an unknown PC Card -- so we will carry MCE until our supplies are exhausted.

CAVEAT EMPTOR

MCE and MCE demo are End Of Life products with no upgrade path and no update potential. Moreover they are unsupported products. We will not provide any support on them at all and can't guarantee that the FAQs and support documents on Elan's website will be available in the long term. Install the demo or purchase MCE at your own risk. Again, we recommend all customers purchase the CSM/IPI products discussed above in lieu of MCE.

Because MCE is an End Of Life Product, Synchrotech is offering a massive 50% discount discount on the retail price.

Express2PCC Workaround for Some 16-bit R2 PC Card Issues

These instructions are for attempting to correct an issue sometimes seen when using some 16-bit PC Cards on modern systems via the ExpressCard 34 to PCMCIA PC CardBus 16/32-bit Read-Writer Express2PCC


ExpressCard 34 to PCMCIA PC Card
SYMPTOMS


The R2 (PCMCIA Release 2.x) PC Card does not start, and you see the following error message in Device Manager:


This device is either not present, not working properly, or does not have all the drivers installed. (Code 10)


Try upgrading the device drivers for this device.


CAUSE


This behavior occurs because some R2 PC Cards do not support interrupt request (IRQ) resource sharing. In The Windows XP or in Windows Vista, and perhaps Windows 7, 16-bit PC Card (PCMCIA) PCI readers can use R2 PC Cards (the 16-bit ISA type) without requiring an ISA runner paddle to obtain ISA interrupts.


RESOLUTION


All of the following procedures must by done under a user account with administrative permissions in order to work correctly.


To resolve this behavior, setting IRQ Route To PCI Controller to allow these PC Cards to function in laptop computers:


  1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
  2. Locate and click to select the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\PCMCIA\Parameters
  3. On the Edit menu, click New, click DWORD Value, type IrqRouteToPciController in the New Value box, and then press ENTER.
  4. Click to select IrqRouteToPciController, click Edit, and then click Modify.
  5. In the Value data box, type 8, and then click OK.
  6. Quit Registry Editor.

Alternatively, download the IrqRouteToPciController.reg (IrqRouteToPciController.zip) file. First unzip and then double click to add the entry to the registry. Quit the Registry Editor when done.


Registry prior to editing.

Registry prior to editing


Registry after editing.

Registry after editing


This procedure disables PCI routing for 16-bit PC Cards.


With this feature, you can successfully install 16-bit PC Cards on computers that are low on ISA interrupts by using a shared-PCI interrupt.

FarLinX TCP/IP to XOT Gateway Appliances with 2 free expansion slots

FarLinX TCP/IP to XOT Gateway appliances with 2 free expansion slots
FarSite has introduced specialized versions of their FarLinX X.25 Gateway X.25 to XOT and X.25 to TCP/IP Appliance line that feature no X.25 Lines. While this seems contradictory, there's actually a very good reason why these units are now available in this configuration. In fact, when we first saw these new devices, we emailed FarSite inquiring "Under what circumstances would someone
not want a X.25 line on the FarLinX X.25 Gateway-1 X.25 to XOT and X.
25 to TCP/IP Appliances?" FarSite's answer was as follows:

Good question. The customer who wants it have the following problem. A network running TCP but some application servers somewhere running X.25. These X.25 lines are converted locally to XOT then fed over the IP network (eg by a Cisco network device). Devices that want to use these application servers now have to talk XOT. This is where the FarLinX XOT Gateway comes in as it allows the Devices to use TCP and convert that traffic to XOT so they can talk over the IP network to the XOT supporting application servers.

Frankly we did not anticipate this requirement when we developed the Gateway product but we added the capability in due to customer requests, including some quite large ones.

The TCP/IP to XOT Gateway Appliances are available in four different configurations:

  • F-FL2600NFarLinX TCP/IP to XOT Gateway appliance 2 free expansion slots
  • F-FL2600EFarLinX TCP/IP to XOT Gateway appliance 2 free expansion slots (export restrictions)
  • F-FL2600N-48FarLinX TCP/IP to XOT Gateway appliance 2 free expansion slots (-48 VDC version)
  • F-FL2600E-48 FarLinX TCP/IP to XOT Gateway appliance 2 free expansion slots (-48 VDC version) (export restrictions)

Two New Multi-in-1 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Memory Card Reader/Writers

New Multi-in-1 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Memory Card Reader/Writers
Synchrotech introduces the RC530 and RC531 Multi-in-1 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Memory Card Reader/Writers.

Each model harnesses the capabilities of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and matches them to a versatile memory card reader. These multi-in-1 SuperSpeed USB memory card reader/writers support over 50 types of flash memory media cards. While broad card support are their hallmark, the readers are plenty fast enough to support transfer hungry memory cards like speedy UDMA 6 CompactFlash cards used in high end DLSR cameras. Utilizing SuperSpeed USB's maximum theoretical speeds of up to 5Gbps, waiting for photos and videos to transfer off cards is now a thing of the past. These SuperSpeed USB 3.0 flash memory readers also supports the massive capacities of modern storage devices, currently supporting up to 2TB on some flash media cards such as SDXC.

They don't trade practicality away for their high end features though. These memory card reader/writers are fully backward compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 hosts. Their five open memory card slots can be used at the same time for data transfers and exchanges, even between cards. The readers support Hot-Swap and Plug-N-Play, and utilize USB bus power so no additional power source is required. The multi-platform readers are best used with systems that support SuperSpeed USB 3.0 in order to take advantage of their speed.

RC531 Multi-in-1 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Memory Card Reader/Writer

FarSync T4E+ Additional Features

FarSync T4E+ Additional Features
FarSite's T4E+ card differs from their standard T4E card in the following ways:

Manchester encoding is supporting up to 10 MBits/s where the clock for the data is taken from the incoming data line. This means separate clock lines are not required. Manchester encoding is a soft configurable alternative to NRZ.

Line termination is supported on all the balanced pair signals for X.21 (V.11), V.35, RS530 (EIA530, RS422) and RS449 (RS422 signalling) operation. The line termination resistors may be soft selected to be selected or deselected on a port by port basis. The addition of line termination resistors can be helpful in improving signal quality on long high speed lines.

For more information and links to datasheets on both devices see the Synchrotech product page.

The Qio Professional Universal Media Reader/Writer Wins 2010 NAB Best of Show Black Diamond Award

ATP ProMax SDHC 2.0 Class 6Sonnet's Qio Universal Media Reader/Writer was recently awarded 2010 Nation Association of Broadcasters Best of Show Black Diamond Award by DV Magazine. This recognition of a revolutionary device is much deserved, as the Qio has provided unparalleled capabilities for both in-studio or on-location applications of video ingestion. Qio is a boon for video professionals using Panasonic P2 and/or Sony/Sandisk SxS memory cards. Qio doesn't just provide slots for one or the other, or even one of each, it provides two slots for each! What's more is the Qio also includes two UDMA capable CompactFlash slots make it indispensable for professional still photographers. Qio also reads memory cards including SDHC using the included 21-in-1 Multimedia Memory Card. Qio reads SxS, P2, and UMDA CompactFlash at their maximum throughput, even when reading two cards at the same time! As if this functionality isn't enough, Qio (pronounced Cue-Eye-Oh) has a built in SATA RAID controller with four eSATA ports for use with a range of eSATA storage devices like Sonnet's Fusion F2 portable raids for on the go transfers between media.

Because the Qio attaches to computers via PCIe, directly on desktop computers, and via ExpressCard/34 on notebook computers, it doubles as a full fledged ExpressCard and PC Card/PC CardBus reader. As long as the drivers for a specific PC Card or ExpressCard are available for your operating system, Qio will let you deploy it with modern systems! You can enable swapping the Qio between desktop and notebook configurations by buying a Qio setup for either desktop or notebook and then purchase a spare Qio interface card for the other machine. Qio even includes a XLR 4-pin adapter cable can route battery power (from third party external batteries, sold separately) to the Qio plus attached Fusion F2's.
