Fostex VF160EX Digital Recording

88
This section will describe digital recording from external digital devices using the [DATA IN] connector of the VF160EX.
Digital signals recorded are either S/P DIF or adat digital signals.
<Caution (IMPORTANT)>
To digitally record to the VF160EX, only input digital sig-
nals (S/P DIF or adat) with the same sampling rate
(44.1kHz/16bit) as the VF160EX.
Selecting the program to record
If several programs are set, use the program selection
function to pre-start the program to record.
Setting the digital input
1. Set the VF160EX digital input as shown below, from the
"Digital In" menu in the SETUP mode.
For more details on setup procedures refer to the "SETUP
Mode" on page 141.
<When recording S/P DIF digital signals>
Set the "Digital In" (SPDIF) of the SETUP mode, as shown as
an example below. With this setting the LEFT channel of
the S/P DIF digital signal is recorded on track 1 and the
RIGHT channel is recorded on track 2.
As shown in this case, when selecting a S/P DIF digital
signal it is possible to set odd and even tracks next to each
other.
<When recording adat digital signals>
Set the "Digital In" of the SETUP mode to "adat".
This setting records the adat digital signals on ch1-ch8
on tracks 1-8. In other words, the ch1 signals are recorded
on track 1, ch2 signals on track 2, and so on. Simply put,
the digital signal is recorded on tracks corresponding to
the adat digital signal channel.
2. When the "Digital In" settings are completed, press the
[EXIT/NO] key to escape from the SETUP mode.
The LCD shows the Normal Display.
Either “ ” or “ ” lights up on the display, when
proper digital signals (S/P DIF or adat) from an external
digital device is input in DATA IN.
If either “ ” or “ ” flashes on the display it means
that the digital signal input is incorrect. In such case check
the connection cable and digital output setting of the
external device.
<Caution (IMPORTANT)>
Do not make connections such as for input of S/P DIF digi-
tal signals into the VF160EX DATA IN connector when
“Digital In” is set to “ adat” . It could result in abnormal
symptoms such as reduction in operating speed of
VF160EX and also create noise.
