SDR 24/96

Note: If you are using a D8B console with OPT8 cards installed and the SDR24/96 is the clock master, then a Clock I/O card must also be installed in the D8B to properly synchronize its word clock with the SDR24/96.

Digital Hookup

This example describes the hookup for the D8B console equipped for digital I/O (DIO•8 or OPT•8).

Cables & Hardware

(3) DIO8 or OPT8 cards for D8B

(1)Apogee Clock I/O card for D8B (if D8B is the slave)

(6)ADAT optical cables

(1)75Ω BNC word clock cable

Hookup

1.Connect three ADAT optical cables from the SDR24/96 DIGITAL optical outputs to the optical inputs on the corresponding D8B I/O cards.

2.Connect three ADAT optical cables from the SDR24/96 DIGITAL optical inputs to the optical outputs on the corresponding D8B I/O cards.

3.When the D8B is the clock master, the SDR24/96 can derive its clock from the Digital Optical input. When the SDR24/96 is the clock master, connect the WORD CLOCK OUT on the SDR24/96 to the WORD CLOCK IN on the D8B (the D8B must have an Apogee Clock I/O card installed).

SDR24/96 Settings

1.Set the Input Type (SETUP:I/O:INPUT TYPE SELECT) to ADAT for Inputs 1-8, 9-16, and 17-24.

2.If the SDR24/96 is the clock master, set the Sample Clock to Internal. If the SDR24/96 is a clock slave, set the Sample Clock to ADAT A (or B or C). (SETUP:Sync:SClk:ADAT A).

3.Set the Sample Rate to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz according to your preference.

Console Settings

1.If you have DIO8 cards installed, set the Tape Input and Tape Output format for each card to ADAT. OPT8 cards need no configuration.

2.If the D8B is the clock master, set the Sample Clock to either 44.1 k Internal or 48 k Internal. If it is a clock slave, then set the Sample Clock to either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz to match the Sample Rate selected on the SDR24/96. Set the Apogee Clock to Word Clock.
