Fostex VM200 manual Using Adat OUT, Assigning Channels to Adat Direct SENDs

Digital Connections

Using ADAT OUT

You can use an optical cable to connect the ADAT OUT connector on the VM200 to an ADAT-compatible recorder, such as the Fostex VR800 digital multitrack recorder.

The ADAT OUT connector outputs the same information as the REC BUSS, but in digital form. The left channel of the REC BUSS stereo signal is output to tracks 1, 3, 5, and 7, and the right channel to tracks 2, 4, 6, and 8.

You can send channel 1–8 signals to ADAT DIRECT using the ROUTING function page. The channel 1 signal is output to ADAT track 1, the channel 2 signal is output to ADAT track 2, etc.
