Euripide Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Just received a used Variax standard that I bought from ebay. it didn't come with its VDI-USB interface. So I used the one I had for my JTV-69 and it seems incompatible... Is it so? Is there a way to get my hands on these "newer" VDI adapter? I can use the Variax with my Helix floor, but I cannot connect it to Workbench, either through the Helix floor or the JTV VDI-USB interface. So I think the adapter hardware change somehow since the James Tyler Series. the end resukt: if I want to create/use custom models via Workbench, it is currently impossible.

Euripide Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 I've forgotten to mention this: clearly, since workbench doesn't recognize the Variax Standard it is because it is currently running on an old firmware. I suppose that I need the VDI-USB adapter only to be able to update to the latest firmware. Afterwards, I won't be using it much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Just to be sure, you’re using the Workbench HD program (compatible with the Variax Standard) and not the original Variax Workbench program (incompatible) right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euripide Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Problem solved: I needed to use a USB port directly connected to the PC motherboard, not a USB hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
