24-bit Recording
Using two recorder tracks per channel, high-resolution digital audio can be
recorded at the maximum wordlength of 24 bits. Recorder tracks 1 to 4 are
used for the upper 16 bits, while tracks 5 to 8 are used for the lower 8 bits.
In 24-bit Recording mode, a single slot can output up to four channels,
which are selected on the DIGITAL I/O 5/5 page. See “Slot Output Select”
on page 194. Slots 1 and 3 output bus signals 1 to 4, while slots 2 and 4
output bus signals 5 to 8. Aux, stereo, and direct out signals can also be
recorded in 24-bit mode. Output signals are split in two and fed to two
recorder tracks. For example, bus out 1 is split and fed to recorder track 1
(upper 16 bits) and track 5 (lower 8 bits). Bus out 2 feeds tracks 2 and 6. Bus
out 3, tracks 3 and 7. And bus out 4, tracks 4 and 8.
For playback, track signals are automatically recombined and fed to the
02R channels as shown in the following table.
As the table shows, in 24-bit Recording mode four MIC or TAPE channels
for each slot cannot be used. So if all four slots are used for 24-bit recording
the maximum number of slot inputs is reduced from 32 to 16. The
recording mode can be set individually for each slot, however, and settings
are stored in scene memories.
The following I/O cards can be used with 24-bit Recording mode: ADAT
(CD8-AT), Tascam (CD8-TDII), Yamaha (CD8-Y), AES Single (CD8-AE-S),
and AES Double (CD8-AE). The following I/O cards can be used with
24-bit Recording mode: ADAT (CD8-AT), Tascam (CD8-TDII), Yamaha
(CD8-Y), AES Single (CD8-AE-S), and AES Double (CD8-AE). The input
and output configurations for analog I/O cards are not affected by the
24-bit Recording mode settings.
