Owner’s Manual

Introduction

The Model UC-8 is a universal format converter that converts the format of the digital input
signal to different format. It can convert between adat digital and AES/EBU, adat digital and
TDIF-1, and AES/EBU and TDIF-1.

By inserting the UC-8 between two digital recorders which have different digital formats, you
can digitally transfer signals between them (44.1 kHz/48 kHz, 24-bit digital signals only).

Please read this manual thoroughly before using the converter.
