Note: Determining which unit in Figures 2 & 3 provides master clock depends on your application. For information on advanced applications, see the Technical Reference manual.

ADAT Optical Hookup (DIO•8 or OPT•8)

Cables & Hardware

(3)DIO•8 or OPT•8 cards for MDR24/96(3)DIO•8 or OPT•8 cards for D8B

(1)Clock I/O card for D8B

(6)ADAT Optical cables(1)75Ω BNC word clock cable

Hookup

1.Connect three ADAT Optical cables from the MDR24/96 Optical Outputs to the Optical Inputs on the corresponding D8B I/O cards.

2.Connect three ADAT Optical cables from the MDR24/96 Optical Inputs to the Optical Outputs on the corresponding D8B I/O cards.

3.When ADAT Optical is used, the D8B must have a Clock I/O card installed. To make the D8B the clock master, connect its Word Clock Out to the MDR24/96 Word Clock In. To make the MDR24/96 the clock master, connect its Word Clock Out to the D8B Word Clock In.

MDR24/96 Settings

1.If you have DIO•8 cards installed, set the Tape Input and Tape Output format for each card to ADAT. OPT•8 cards need no configuration.

2.If the MDR24/96 is the clock master, set the Sample Clock to Internal; If

the MDR24/96 is a clock slave, set the Sample Clock to Word Clock and depress the 75Ω termination button on the Sync card.

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

Console Settings

1.If you have DIO•8 cards installed, set the Tape Input and Tape Output format for each card to ADAT. OPT•8 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. Set the Sample Rate to match the Sample Rate selected on the MDR24/96.
