Link Options are enabled and disabled accord-
ing to what control surface actions you want to
have linked on two or more consoles assigned to
the same Network Channel.
•
Fader Banks:
This option provides for bank
selection across the network from any Digital 8•Bus
sharing a common Network Channel number.
•
Aux Strip:
This option links the selection of any
aux bus across the network. For example, if Aux 1
is selected on any networked Digital 8•Bus console,
it will be selected on all networked Digital 8•Bus
consoles with Aux Strip selected.
•
Bus Assign:
This links the BUS ASSIGN selection
across the network. For example, selecting Bus 1–
8, L–R, or Route to Tape in the ASSIGNMENT
section selects that assignment status in each
networked D8B with Bus Assign selected. This
allows the ASSIGN buttons to function identically
on each D8B.
•
Cue Controls:
This links the Phones/Cue selection
across the network. For example, selecting any
parameter in the PHONES/CUE MIX 1 section
selects that parameter in each networked D8B with
Cue Controls selected.
•
Solo Logic:
This links the SOLO/STUDIO
selection across the network. For example,
selecting any solo or studio status in the SOLO/
STUDIO section selects that status in each
networked D8B with Solo Logic selected.
•
Speakers:
This links the Speaker selection across
the network, including NEAR FIELD, MAIN,
MONO, and DIM.
•
Sample Rate:
This links the sample rate setting
across the network. Selection of a sample rate
status on any networked Digital•8 Bus sets the
sample rate on the others with Sample Rate
selected. This link syncs the sample rate setting
but not the source setting (Apogee Clock Internal
or Word Clock setting). Word clock connections
must still be made using real live cables.
•
Automation:
This links the automation control
across the network. For example, enabling
automation by selecting ALL in the AUTOMATION
section, enables ALL automation in each networked
D8B with Automation selected.
•
Load/Save:
This links the Load and Save
commands across the network. If the Load or Save
commands are initiated on one networked Digital
8•Bus, each networked D8B loads or saves a
session.
Digital I/O
The Digital I/O setup window allows you to
make input and output settings for the I/O cards
that are installed in the Tape In/Out card slots.
The D8B automatically senses the card configura-
tions and provides selection and patching options
accordingly.
Tape Banks
Any of the following tape I/O cards can be
installed in the three Tape In/Out slots and the
Alt I/O slot in the back of the Digital 8•Bus.
•
DIO•8:
This digital card provides input and output
connections via ADAT and T/DIF protocol. Tape
bank I/O selections are completely selectable on
both inputs and outputs. The DIO•8's provide
direct dubbing capabilities from ADAT optical to
T/DIF format, and vice versa. Powerful patching
options interconnect the Alesis ADAT format and
the TASCAM DA series format.
•
PDI•8:
The PDI•8 AES/EBU card connects to any
digital device that supports the AES/EBU digital
audio format. The PDI•8 allows for real-time
sample rate conversion and status bit designation
on its four pairs of inputs (click the Setup button
in the Digital I/O Setup window).
•
OPT•8:
The low-cost OPT•8 I/O card provides
8 channels of ADAT light pipe digital I/O.
•
AIO•8:
This analog card offers 8 balanced line-
level inputs and outputs per card through a 25-pin
D-Sub connector.
