Copy TDIF or ADAT Hi-Res Recording

Reduce 48K 24Bit triple tracks to
16 Bit stereo.
Replay a ADAT or TDIF triple track reduced
to 16 Bit stereo.
Digitally copy ADAT to TDIF or TDIF to ADAT 44.1/48K or 88.2/96K recordings.
Also reduce 48K 24Bit triple tracks to 48K 16 Bit stereo with optimum dither, without using
sample rate conversion.
When the TDIF plug is inserted into the rear of
the DC2496 the main digital output word clock
BNC is only suitable for TDIF word sync input.
If digital gain is applied with the limiter off then
unpleasant digital distortion can occur on peaks.
When monitoring using the Slave Digital Output
white noise bursts at 0dB may be heard when
changing sample rate.
Always reduce monitor volume when selecting
different word clocks or sample rates.
Triple and Hex Tracks (tracks 1 to 6) can be
digitally copied in the same way as normal
stereo recording.
Tracks 7 & 8 will be a stereo processed signal
with gain limit and dither.
