ADAT indicator
This indicator will light green if an ADAT interface signal is being input to the ADAT digital IN connector.
POWER indicator
When the R-BUS device connected to the R-BUS connector is powered up, this indicator will light red to indicate that power is being supplied to the DIF-AT24.
*Power is supplied to the DIF-AT24 via the R-BUS connector.

MIDI IN/OUT connectors
These are used mainly for MTC synchronization.
The data that is transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector will depend on the settings of the R-BUS device connected to the R-BUS connector.
MASTER CLK (Master clock) switch
This switches the master clock (sampling clock) synchronization.

ADAT OUT/IN (ADAT digital out/in) connector
This is the ADAT digital interface.
It allows eight channels of digital audio data to be transferred between the DIF-AT24 and an ADAT-compatible digital device.
R-BUS connector
Provides for the input/output of eight channels of digital audio data, thus allowing the exchange of data between the DIF-AT24 and an R-BUS device to take place. Also transmits/receives synchronization signals.
*Power is supplied to the DIF-AT24 via the R-BUS connector.
•Connect only an R-BUS device to the R-BUS connector. You must never connect a device with a SCSI, RS-232C, or parallel interface. Even though the connectors on such devices may look similar, they are incompatible, and damage and/or malfunction could result if you attempt their connection. Also, you must use only a special R-BUS cable to make connections.
•You must turn off the power of the R-BUS device before connecting or disconnecting the R-BUS cable. If you connect or disconnect the cable while power is being supplied, the external R-BUS device will stop working correctly, and the DIF-AT24 or the external R-BUS device may also be damaged.
•The specifications for “R-BUS” are identical to those of RMDB2 and RMDB II. You can use it with any device that is marked “RMDB2” or “RMDB II.”
•R-BUS (RMDB2) is not compatible with the older RMDB specification.
