Fostex VM200 manual Using S/P DIF, Assigning S/P DIF Signals to Channels

Using S/P DIF IN

Note: Make sure that signals are routed to ST Buss so that they are also output to the S/P DIF OUT. (See “Routing Input Channels” on page 66 for more information.)

Using S/P DIF IN

You can connect the S/P DIF output from a CD player, DAT, or Mini- Disc player to the S/P DIF IN optical connector on the rear panel of the VM200.

You can also connect the S/P DIF output from a second VM200 to the S/P DIF IN optical connector in a cascade configuration. See “Cascad- ing the VM200” on page 171 for more information.

DAT

In this connection example, a DAT machine is connected to the S/P DIF OUT connector on the rear panel of the VM200 to enable mixing from a digital source.

The DAT machine serves as word clock master, and the VM200 is word clock slave. You need to set the Master Word Clock setting to “S/P DIF44” or “S/P DIF48” depending on the sample frequency of the source. For more information on the master word clock setup, refer to “Setting the Master Word Clock” on page 162.

Note: If the connected digital device has only the COAXIAL (RCA pin) jack as a digital output, use a Fostex COP-1 optical-to-coaxial converter.

Assigning S/P DIF Signals to Channels

Follow these steps to assign a two-channel digital stereo signal (input via S/P DIF IN) to specific channels:

1.Press the [ROUTING/PHASE] key twice.

The [ROUTING/PHASE] key and selectable [EQ EDIT] keys flash, and the VM200 displays the 2:S/P DIF IN function page.
