Digital Setup
Note to H8000FW users: many of the screen shots in this section are taken from the
H8000FW. Your screens will differ insofar as you have four plus eight AES/EBU inputs
and outputs, not eight. This discrepancy shouldn’t matter.

Before we look at the H8000FW’s digital setup in detail, let’s take in the "big picture."
•
The H8000FW sports twelve AES/EBU inputs/outputs, two S/P DIF
inputs/outputs, and eight ADAT input/outputs as well as 16 channels of
FireWire.
•
All of the H8000FW’s analog to digital conversion and digital to analog
conversion is 24 bit.
•
Only eight external inputs can be connected to DSP A and B.
•
Whatever signal is sent to AES/EBU output 1/2 is also sent to S/P DIF output
1/2.
•
Whatever signal is sent to AES/EBU output 11/12 is also sent to S/P DIF output
3/4.
•
The H8000FW assumes that signals at the digital inputs are 24-bit. No harm
occurs if the input is in fact less than 24-bit; subsequent processing will usually fill
the lower bits.
•
The
system sampling rate
is derived from either an internal clock or an external clock.
•
The internal clock rates supplied by the H8000FW include 44.1kHz, 48kHz,
88.2kHz, 96kHz (
note that 32kHz and 44.059kHz are not supplied).
Unless the sample rate conversion option is ON ("bottom" page under
[clock]
in the
SETUP area)
, you must ensure that
any signal at the AES/EBU 1-4 inputs or S/P DIF 1-2 inputs is synchronized to the system sampling rate.
You must always ensure that ADAT and AES11-17 inputs are synchronized to the system sampling rate – these have no
available sample rate conversion.
•
On the H8000FW, the external clock may be taken from AES/EBU inputs 11-
17, S/P DIF inputs 3/4 or the ADAT or FireWire inputs. If they are used,
AES/EBU inputs 1-4 and S/P DIF inputs 1/2 must be synchronized to the
