The CONSOLE, MASTER and INSERT connectors may each have an optional slot card selected as alter- native I/O sources.

These slots may be filled by any of the following (but only one analog IF-AN/DM card may be fitted at a time).

Also note that when such analog cards are fitted, the headroom should be set on the cards to 20dB, using the switches and jumpers on the cards, and following the documentation supplied with thcards.

IF-AE/DM

AES-1992 (AES/EBU) — can be used with high-speed mode

 

 

IF-AD/DM

ADAT “lightpipe” interface (SYNC in this card is not available with the DS-M7.1)

 

 

IF-TD/DM

TDIF card (REMOTE OUT connector not available with DS-M7.1)

 

 

IF-AN/DM

Analog I/O (use with 20dB headroom) — can be used in high-sampling mode

 

 

All these cards use PCI 120-pin edge connectors and conform to the TASCAM TDMCS standard.
