Installing I/O cards
About I/O cards
I/O cards compatible with the Yamaha mini-YGDAI format can be installed in the
OPTION I/O slots 1/2 located on the rear panel of the AW4416 in order to add
input/output ports. For example by installing an ADAT format compatible I/O
card into an OPTION I/O slot, you can transmit/receive eight channels of digital
audio to/from an ADAT format digital recorder.
At present, the following types of I/O cards can be used.
