Analog Ins to ADAT: When “Analog Ins to ADAT” mode is enabled, the analog inputs 1 through 8 on your Delta 1010 rack mount unit are routed through the rack unit’s 24 bit A/D converters to the ADAT Optical output of the Delta 1010-AI. Select this mode when you wish to use the A/D converters on your Delta 1010 rack unit to convert the signal directly to ADAT optical. This may be desirable if, when doing your recording onto an ADAT, you find that you prefer using the Delta 1010’s A/D converters.
NOTE: When this mode is selected, the audio outs of the Delta 1010 PCI card are no longer routed to the ADAT Optical out of the Delta 1010-AI. This “default” routing is defeated.
ADAT Thru: When “ADAT Thru” is enabled, the signal present at the ADAT Optical In of the Delta 1010-AIis routed directly to the ADAT Optical Out. This mode is desirable when the ADAT input signal must be maintained, or passed ‘thru’ to the ADAT output. The ADAT Optical in can still be routed to the Delta 1010 PCI host card and/or the analog outs of the Delta 1010 rack unit.
NOTE: When this mode is selected, the audio outs of the Delta 1010 PCI card are no longer routed to the ADAT Optical out of the Delta 1010-AI. This “default” routing is defeated whenever a different source is selected for the ADAT Optical out (such as “Analog Ins to ADAT”).
Mixed Modes: Any combination of Delta 1010-AImodes can be selected, the results of which can be determined simply by summing the characteristics of the different modes described in this section. ADAT Thru mode can be applied to any of these combinations, with the result as described above, in “ADAT Thru.”
NOTE: Whenever “ADAT Thru” mode is enabled, the “Analog Ins to ADAT” mode will be defeated. Pressing the ‘Analog Ins to ADAT’ button will have no effect in this case, since this switch precedes ADAT Thru in the signal path.
Standalone Mode: To use the 1010 rack unit and Delta 1010-AIin “standalone” mode, your Delta 1010-AIdoes not need to be connected to your host computer. When the Delta 1010-AIis connected to the Delta 1010 rack unit with the rack unit’s power supply properly attached, engaging the power button on the Delta 1010-AIwill trigger the Delta 1010 rack unit to power up.
When the Delta 1010-AIis not connected to the host computer or the when the host computer is not powered on, the Delta 1010-AIin standalone mode is capable of receiving its master clock signal from the ADAT optical input and communicating this to the Delta 1010 rack unit’s D/A converters. “ADAT to
