Connecting to the Audio Interface
S/PDIF
Next to the
Optical
connectors is a pair of connectors labeled
S/PDIF
,
IN
and
OUT
. These S/PDIF connectors are used to transmit digital audio data between
digital audio devices via an electrical signal.
When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks, the use of standard analog RCA
audio cables is not recommended. For reliable S/PDIF operation, 75-ohm coaxial
(RG59) video cables are recommended.
MIDI
Both Layla3G and Gina3G are equipped with MIDI I/O connectors. The MIDI
ports can be used for receiving MIDI time code (MTC), or sending and receiving
MIDI signals between your digital audio/MIDI sequencing software and external
sound modules, keyboards, MIDI controllers, etc.
MIDI cabling is highly standardized and widely available.
