Configuration

Before starting a Project, you will need to configure the SDR24/96 I/O options and synchronization parameters. These parameters determine where the input signal is coming from, where the sample clock is coming from, how fast the sample clock runs, and how many bits are recorded in every sample. Some options, like sample rate and bit depth, will become “standards” that you won’t need to change very often. Others, like input-to-track assignments, you may need to change frequently.

Operation

Note: When 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz sampling rate is selected (X2 mode), each digital optical port carries only 4 tracks instead of 8, due to a limitation in the ADAT Optical specifica- tion. Tracks 1-12 are used, and tracks

13-24 are unavailable in X2 mode. The analog inputs continue to operate with 24 tracks in X2 mode.

Track I/O Setup

By default, each of the physical inputs and outputs on the SDR24/96 corresponds to their track numbers when recording and playing back audio. You can customize the inputs and outputs to go to any of the tracks using the TRACK INPUT SELECT and TRACK OUTPUT SELECT menus. These settings apply to both the analog and digital inputs and outputs, and are saved with the project file.

To configure the track input mapping:			SETUP

	SETUP MENU	>
1. Press SETUP to enter the
	Record I/O	Sync Transp
SETUP MENU.

2. Select I/O to enter the TRACK

INPUT SELECT menu.TRACK INPUT SELECT > TRK: 1-8 9-16 17-24

3. Select 1-8. The LCD display
shows you the current setting
shows you the current setting	TRK 1- 8 INP: Direct
for inputs 1-8, either Direct or	TRK 1- 8 INP: Direct
Custom.	Direct	Custom Exit

4.Select Direct for direct input-to-track recording (i.e., Input 1 to Track 1, Input 2 to Track 2, etc.).

5.Select Custom to route inputs to different track numbers.

♦You can assign an input to more than one track.

♦If an input is routed to an alternate track (i.e., Input 1 to Track 9), the Input Type assignment doesn’t change (see “Input Type Setup” on the next page).

6. Press the Inc (increment) and		Track	New	Current

7.Press the Page Right button to scroll to the next track. Repeat step 6 for Track 2, and so on.

8.Select Exit when finished with Tracks 1-8 to return to the previous

menu. Press the Page Left button to return to the TRACK INPUT SELECT menu to edit tracks 9-16 and 17-24.

9.Select Exit when finished to exit.

To configure the track output mapping:

1.Press SETUP to enter the

SETUP MENU.

2.Select I/O. Press the Page

Right button to enter the TRACK OUTPUT SELECT menu.
