Model D2424LVmkII Quick Operation Guide

Basic digital recording

In the following, basic multi-recording of adat digital signals will be carried out on the assumption that a digital mixer is connected to D2424LVmkII (To output adat digital signals from the digital mixer, refer to the Operating Manual of the digital mixer you are using). Prior to operation, D2424LVmkII must be set to the “Initial state.”

Selecting Digital In

<About Digital In selection>

For setup items of digital in, in addition to the initial setting of "Analog," "SPDIF: Async," "SPDIF: Sync," "adat: Async" or "adat: Sync" can be selected and setup to match the application.

"DIGITAL" will be lit if set to the asynchronous mode while a correct adat digital signal is being input from the digital mixer, and "EXT" will also be lit if set to the synchronous mode. If it is locked to the word signal, "WORD" will be lit.

Flashing

SETUP

"Analog" indicates that none of the tracks are assigned to digital in and is the setting in which digital signals cannot be input to any of the [DATA INPUT] connectors.

"SPDIF:Async" and "SPDIF: Sync" are used when assign- ing S/P DIF signals (L, R) from external digital equip- ment to tracks 1 and 2 of D2424LVmkII, and selected to digital in asynchronous (Async) or synchronous (Sync) depending on the system in

use. In this case, [DATA INPUT] 1-8only can be used.

"adat:Async" and "adat: Sync" are used to assign adat signals (ch 1-ch 8) from external digital equipments to tracks 1-8 (9-16, 17-24) of D2424LVmkII, and in com- pliance to the system, select it to asynchronous (Async) or synchronous (Sync) with digital-in.

In this case, all [DATA INPUT] connectors can be used and each input port will function as shown below.

[DATA INPUT] 1-8: Tracks 1 - 8 will be assigned.

[DATA INPUT] 9-16: Tracks 9 - 16 will be assigned.

[DATA INPUT] 17-24: Tracks 17 - 24 will be assigned.

1.Press the [SETUP] key to enter the SETUP mode.

2.Select the “D. in?” menu by using the Jog dial, and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The current selection will be displayed together with "D. in?" (the default is "Analog").

By pressing the [EXECUTE/YES] key, the selection starts flashing, showing that you can now change the selection.

Selecting Digital Out

<About Digital Out selection>

In addition to the initial setting of "D.out adat" from among the digital out setup items, "D.out SPDIF" can also be selected, and setup in compliance with the ap- plication. When set to "D.out adat," outputs of tracks 1 -8 (6-16, 17-24) will be assigned to digital out. This will be the initial setting and signals can be output to digi- tal mixers and adat equipments provided with adat in- put functions. The following signals will be output from each [DATA OUTPUT] connectors.

[DATA OUTPUT] 1-8: Outputs of tracks 1 - 8

[DATA OUTPUT] 9-16: Ouputs of tracks 9 - 16

[DATA OUTPUT] 17-24: Outputs of tracks 17 - 24

When set to "D.out SPDIF," outputs of two tracks (1-2, 3-4, 5-6) will be assigned to digital out. It will thus be possible to ouput S/P DIF signals (L, R) to external digi- tal equipments. Signals listed below will be output from each [DATA OUTPUT] connectors.

[DATA OUTPUT] 1-8: Outputs of tracks 1 - 2

[DATA OUTPUT] 9-16: Outputs of tracks 3 - 4

[DATA OUTPUT] 17-24: Outputs of tracks 5 - 6

4.Select the “D.out?” menu by using the Jog dial, and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The current selection is displayed together with "D. out?".

The default is “D.out adat”. If another selection is displayed, select “D.out adat” using the following operation. Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key and the current selection will starts flashing.
