Using slots 1-4 input signals with two DSP1D/
DSP1D-EXs simultaneously
1) Connect the INPUT A connector of the DIO8 to OUT-
PUT slot 1-6 of the first DSP1D/DSP1D-EX.
2) Connect the INPUT B connector of the DIO8 to the
second DSP1D/DSP1D-EX OUTPUT slot connector
with the same ID number as the first unit’s slot you
connected in Step 1).
3) Connect the OUTPUT A connector of the DIO8 to the
INPUT connector for INPUT slot 1-10 of the first
DSP1D/DSP1D-EX.
4) Connect the INPUT B connector to the second
DSP1D/DSP1D-EX OUTPUT slot connector.
5) Set the PORT B SELECTOR to 1-4.
Slot 1-4 input signals will be output from OUTPUT A
and B. However, the output signal will be the same as
the signal input to INPUT B.
C
POWER ON/OFF switch
Use this switch to turn the power to the DIO8 on and
off. When the power is turned on, the I/O UNIT ID
indicator lights up.
D
WORD CLOCK IN jack, ON/OFF switch
The WORD CLOCK IN jack is used to provide word
clock to the DIO8 from a clock generator or a con-
nected external device. Use a BNC cable with an
impedance of 75
Ω
for connection.
The WORD CLOCK ON/OFF switch is used to termi-
nate the word clock connection. Basically, if the DIO8
is the last device of the word clock chain, or if nothing
is connected to the WORD CLOCK IN/OUT jacks, set
this switch to ON.
E
WORD CLOCK OUT jacks
The WORD CLOCK OUT jacks are used to provide
word clock from the DIO8 to the connected external
device, such as digital MTR or DAT recorder. Use a
BNC cable with an impedance of 75
Ω
for connection.
F
COM port
This connector is provided for future system expan-
sion, but it is not operative in the current software
version.
G
OUTPUT connectors A (1-4)/(1-8), B (1-4/
5-8)
These connectors are used to output multi-channel
digital audio signals to the DSP1D/DSP1D-EX.
Depending on the setting of the PORT B SELECTOR,
assignment between the OUTPUT A and B connec-
tors and slots 1-8 varies. For more information, refer
to
2
PORT B SELECTOR. Be sure to use the included
genuine Yamaha half-pitch 68-pin cable for connec-
tion. Optional genuine Yamaha cables in a variety of
lengths are also available.
H
INPUT connectors A (1-4)/(1-8), B (1-4/5-8)
These connectors are used to input multi-channel dig-
ital audio signals from the DSP1D/DSP1D-EX.
Depending on the setting of the PORT B SELECTOR,
assignment between the INPUT A and B connectors
and slots 1-8 varies. For more information, refer to
2
PORT B SELECTOR. Be sure to use the included gen-
uine Yamaha half-pitch 68-pin cable for connection.
Optional genuine Yamaha cables in a variety of
lengths are also available.
The following table shows optional Yamaha digital I/O cards and analog I/O cards that can be installed into the slots of dig-
ital IO unit DIO8.
*: Manufactured by Apogee Corporation
It is not possible to install and use a total of five or more
AP8AD/AP8DA cards. Also, if you are using AP8AD/
AP8DA cards simultaneously with MY8-AD/MY4-AD/
MY4-DA cards, there are restrictions on the number of
cards, as described on the next page. Never exceed the
allowable number of cards, since attempting to use a
greater number of cards than allowed may damage the
DIO8 due to excessive current. If you are not using
AP8AD or AP8DA cards, or if you are using AP8AD or
AP8DA cards simultaneously with an MY8-TD/MY8-AT/
MY8-AE card, there is no limitation on the number of
MY8-TD/MY8-AT/MY8-AE cards that can be used.
Caution:
If you are using the MY8-AT card to handle ADAT
format signals, synchronization may tend to be
lost easily depending on the device that is con-
nected. For the most reliable synchronization, we
recommend that the word clock for digital audio
devices being used together be taken from a con-
nector other than the ADAT-format connector,
such as this connector.
Note:
The “(1-8)” function labelled at the INPUT A/
OUTPUT A connectors is provided for future sys-
tem expansion, but it is not operative in the cur-
rent software version.
