<DIGITAL INPUT: This section of the Control Panel displays the current S/PDIF input status.

•S/PDIF Signal: When Delta 1010 is receiving a valid S/PDIF signal, “Valid Input Detected” is displayed. If no signal is present or the incoming signal is invalid, the “Invalid or Not Present” is displayed.

•Coax (RCA) / Optical: The bottom of the Digital Input section contains

two ‘grayed-out’ buttons: “Coax (RCA)” and “Optical.” These controls are functions of other Delta interfaces (such as Delta DiO 2496) and do not apply to Delta 1010.

<DIGITAL OUTPUT FORMAT: This section of the Control Panel has several parameters relating to the operation of the S/PDIF output. These options are as follows:

•Consumer / Professional: These buttons determine the communication protocol that takes place over the S/PDIF cable. The default “Consumer” setting will send standard S/PDIF encoded audio signal over your connection. The “Professional” setting sends an AES/EBU encoded signal over the RCA S/PDIF connection.

AES/EBU signals are designed to be sent over balanced XLR cables. Sending AES/EBU specified signals over a coaxial (RCA) S/PDIF connection is a configuration that may not be recognized by all manufacturers or devices.

•Advanced Settings: Selecting this check box reveals several advanced features on the right side of the S/PDIF tab. Note that your selection of “Consumer” or “Professional” (see above) will determine the advanced options that will be displayed.

•Restore Defaults: This button will restore all of the advanced output settings to their factory default settings.
