Hi there ,
My Raven MTi has finally arrived to my home in Bali , and both Slate , & Setiadi from Chandracom in Jakarta Indonesia really looked after me , thanks Guys .
Tomorrow Im going to set up my New Mac Pro ....., and hook everything up ...., but just for now I am only setting up the Raven to use as a basic computer display monitor , as I do not have an additional monitor other than the RAVEN.
....., therefore I just want to make sure I don't stuff anything up ...., as I am totally new to using a Mac ...., ( until now , I have been a 20 years a windows user)
When I power up that Mac for the very first time , I will be using the Raven (strictly as a basic display monitor) to set up my new mac , followed by installing Macs latest updates etc .
- Once thats completed ...............,
I will install my Ilok , interface , then Pro tools in that sequential order....., then the MTi software and my multitude of plugins and V.I's
So my 1st main question is ....,
Q 1 ; - The Power adapter (BRICK) that came with the Raven MTi , included with a USA 110 Volt Power cable ...., Can I swap this for a 220 Volt Indonesian Power Cable ? ? ? , (as the power brick says 100V-240V) Just thought i'd confirm that I can actually do this .
Q 2 ; - Do I just need to plug in the DVI cable to my mac for basic monitor display - and alls good to go for basic computer display monitoring ?......., or does the USB cable also need to be plugged in and the Raven MTi software installed (after switching on the power button of course)
Q 3 ; - Ive only ever had laptops before ...., so whats the power up order sequence for the Raven ( ie; is it mac 1st , Raven 2nd )
Sorry to ask such basic questions ..., I just want to make sure everythings right before I start ..., Thank you
