Using the Coaxial Digital Input & Output
The COAXIAL INPUT and OUTPUT phono jacks offer
S/PDIF format, 2-channel digital input and output. They can
be assigned to individual track pairs, all tracks, or turned off,
using the Coaxial I/O function. See “Assigning the Coaxial
Input & Output” on page 188 for more information.
The COAXIAL INPUT supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit
wordlengths. If the wordlength of the signal being input is
higher than that selected for recording, the extra bits are discarded, resulting in distor-
tion. See “Digital I/O & Wordlength” on page 189 for more information.
When recording via the COAXIAL INPUT, the D24 and the source device must be
locked to the same wordclock. This can be achieved by configuring the D24 as a word-
clock slave, in which case the D24 derives its wordclock from the COAXIAL INPUT, or
by locking the D24 and the source device to a common wordclock source. See “Word-
clock System Examples” on page 126 for more information.
The COAXIAL OUTPUT supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths, and the
wordlength of the signal being output will be the same as the recording resolution of
the selected project.
When a Dual AES/EBU mode wordclock source is selected, the COAXIAL INPUT and
OUTPUT do not function. See “Using Dual AES/EBU Mode” on page 186 for more
information on Dual AES/EBU mode wordclocks.
