The ‘extra’ FireWire port is available for connecting additional FireWire devices in series such as external Hard Drives or even additional FP10’s.

•S/PDIF In and Out Jacks. These allow the FP10 to receive and transmit audio from other digital audio devices. The S/PDIF standard allows two channels of audio to be transmitted at rates up to 24bit/96kHz. The S/PDIF input also allows the FP10 to receive Word Clock – the synchronizing signal indicating the sampling frequency or rate of sample words over a digital interface.

You must select ‘S/PDIF’ as the Clock Source in the FP10 Hardware Control Panel when using the S/PDIF input. As of driver version 2.42, the S/PDIF input is disabled when using multiple FP10’s.
