DIGI-I/O
Configuration
Before starting a Project, you will need to configure the HDR24/96 I/O card
options and synchronization parameters. These parameters determine where the
sample clock is coming from, how fast the sample clock runs, and how many bits
are recorded in every sample. Some options, like sample rate and bit depth, will
become “standards” that you won’t need to change very often. The remaining
synchronization options (for time code and video) are covered in detail in the
Applications and Reference Manuals.
I/O Cards
Only the DIO8 and PDI8 cards require special configuration. If you are using
AIO8 or OPT8 cards only, you can skip to the next section.
DIO•8 Card
To set the DIO8 input and output formats:
1. Press Digi I/O to enter
the Digital I/O Card Setup
screen.
2. Select In.
The Setup Tape Inputs screen shows
you the current input settings for
each of the three I/O cards.
3. Press the Select button
corresponding to each DIO8 card
and toggle the selection between ADAT and TDIF.
4. Press the Page Left (<) button to return to the previous screen.
5. Now select Out.
The Setup Tape Outputs screen
shows you the current output
settings for each of the three I/O
cards.
6. For each DIO•8 card present,
press the Select button to select the desired output format. Or, select
the TD–>AD or AD–>TD option to convert between formats, bypassing
the HDR24/96 tape signal path entirely.
7. When done, press Digi I/O to exit the menu.
