Fostex D2424 manual Connecting a Digital Mixer, Setting the digital output, Digital Out Word

Model D2424 Reference Manual (Recording Digital Data)

<Note>

Connecting the recorder to an external digital device via both digital input and output jacks may generate a digital loop.

*If the connected external device has only a COAXIAL (RCA pin) jack for digital input, use an optional Fostex COP-1/96k (optical/coaxial converter).

<Note>

Data on the additional tracks cannot be digitally recorded to the external device as it is. To output digital data from the additional track, move it to the real tracks first, then output it to the external device (using the Track Exchange function). For more information on the Track Exchange function, see page “72.”

Selecting a recording Program

1.If you already have multiple Programs, select the desired Program using the Program Select function.

*See page “35” for more information on the Program Select function.

Setting the digital output

Use the digital output setup menu in Setup mode to assign output tracks.

With the default setting, the digital output is set to [adat]. You can select “adat” or “SP DIF”.

To output adat digital signals to a connected adat device, select “adat.” To output S/P DIF signals to a connected CD-R, MD, or DAT recorder, select “SP DIF.”

*See page “118” for more information on the [D. out?] menu.

When you finish setting the parameters in Setup mode, press the [EXIT/NO] key or the [STOP] button to exit Setup mode.

Connecting a Digital Mixer

The following explanations assume that this is digital mixer, which can input digital signals whose clock source can be setup at digital in.

<Precaution against the digital loop>

When interconnecting D2424 and a digital mixer as shown in above schematic, if the D2424 “Setup of the digital input” is set to adat or “Sync” (synchronous mode) of S/P DIF, and the digital mixer clock source is set to “DIGITAL IN,” a digital loop will be created and it will not operate correctly.

In such a case, setup the D2424 “Setup of the digital input” to adat or “Async” (asynchronous mode) of S/P DIF.
