S/P DIF IN/OUT
The VM200 features S/P DIF digital in and out connectors on the rear
panel.
“S/PDIF” is an abbreviation for the Sony/Philips Digital InterFace, a
digital format that enables two channels of digital audio to flow
through an RCA connector (coaxial) or an optical cable. The VM200
requires an optical S/P DIF connection.
Using S/P DIF OUT
The VM200 outputs the ST BUSS signal in digital S/P DIF format
from the S/P DIF Out optical connector on the rear panel.
You can connect this output to any digital device that features an
S/P DIF Optical input, such as a DAT recorder or MiniDisc recorder
to mixdown in stereo.
You can also connect the S/P DIF out to the S/P DIF IN of another
VM200 in a cascade configuration. See “Cascading the VM200” on
page 171 for more information.
In this example, the VM200 S/P DIF output is connected to the digital
input of a DAT recorder for digital mixdown recording.
The VM200 serves as the word clock master; the DAT is a word clock
slave. Set the “Master Word Clock” parameter on the V200 to “INT44.”
Refer to “Setting the Master Word Clock” on page 162 for more infor-
mation.
If you select the digital input on the DAT recorder as the recording
source, the DAT should automatically synchronize to the word clock
signal from the VM200. On some DAT recorders, you may need to
specify the word clock source. Refer to the instructions supplied with
your DAT recorder.
Note: If the connected digital device has only the COAXIAL (RCA pin)
jack as a digital input, use a Fostex COP-1 (an optical-to-coaxial con-
verter).
