Roland XV-5080 owner manual Digital Connections Using R, DIF Control, Output Gain, 119

Digital Connections Using R-

BUS

The XV-5080 comes equipped with an R-BUS connector. This connector allows you to make an eight-channel digital connection using a single R-BUS cable (RBC-1/RBC-5; optional). In addition, you can connect the R-BUS connector to a DIF-AT, AE-7000, or other such digital device, making it possible for you to convert to different digital formats.

* The XV-5080's R-BUS is for output only.

Only the R-BUS devices listed in the Owner’s Manual may be connected to the R-BUS (RMDB2) connector. Be careful not to connect any other devices (such as SCSI-type devices, RS- 232C-type devices, parallel-type devices, etc.) even though they have similar-looking connectors. Use only a specially designed R-BUS (RMDB2) cable to make connections.

Digital Interface

Master Clock

This sets the master clock used for the output.

Settings Values:

INTERNAL: The XV-5080 serves as the master.

R-BUS:Synchronizes to the clock arriving at R-BUS. The XV- 5080 operates as the slave.

WORD CLOCK IN: Synchronizes to the clock arriving at WORD CLOCK. The XV-5080 operates as the slave.

*When the XV-5080 operates as a slave, it can be synchronized to clocks running at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. It cannot be synchronized to clocks running at other rates.

*The sync status is indicated in parentheses. “Unlocked” means that the devices are not synchronized.

Master Freq (Master Frequency)

Settings Values: 44.1/48 kHz

This sets the master clock used for the output.

DIF Control

DIF-AT Clk Select (DIF-AT Clock Select)	Chap
This selects the source of the DIF-AT synchronization signal
when digital signals between digital devices are	.3
synchronized.

*This setting is required only when synchronizing signals with an ADAT or DA-88 through the DIF-AT.

Settings Values:

R-BUS:The synchronization signal input through the DIF- AT’s R-BUS connector is used for the master.

ADAT: The synchronization signal input through the DIF- AT’s ADAT connector is used for the master.

DA-88:The synchronization signal input through the DIF- AT’s DA-88 connector is used for the master.

Here is the basic procedure for making the settings.

1.Press [SYSTEM/UTILITY], causing the indicator to light.

*If the indicator is flashing, it means that the XV-5080 is in Utility mode. In this case, press [SYSTEM/UTILITY] once more so the indicator is lit, but not flashing.

2.Press [F2 (Outp&EQ)] to display the SYSTEM Output screen.

3. Press [ ], [ ], [ ], or [ ] to move the cursor to the parameter you want to set.

4.Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC] or [DEC] to set the value.

*If you happen to make a mistake with a setting and press [UNDO], the parameter reverts to the value in effect when the cursor was moved to the parameter.

5.Press [EXIT] to return to the current PLAY screen

Output Gain

Gain

Settings Values: -12, -6, 0, +6, +12 dB

This adjusts the output gain from the XV-5080’s Analog Out and Digital Out. When, for example, there are relatively few voices being sounded, boosting the output gain can let you attain the most suitable output level for recording and other purposes.
