6. Interface specifications
6.1 RS422 control interface
In RS422 communication the Sphynx 2 must always be slave and the computer the master.
RS422 Pin out Sphynx 2:
Baud rate
19.2 Kbaud
Cable length:
<100 meter
Connector Type:
9 pole D-Sub Female
Pin 1: RX- (input)
Pin 2: RX+ (input)
Pin 3: TX+ (output)
Pin 4: TX- (output)

For interfacing to the VScom/Easysync USB to RS422 I/O adapter a 1:1 male-femal 9 pin D-sub cable
must be used.

TDIF I/O Specifications:
Connectors:
1 x 25-pin female D-sub
Formats:
TDIF-1, TDIF96, TDIF DS
Sample Rates:
44.1 to 96 kHz
TDIF I/O Pin out:
The pin out format of the D25 connector is
compatible with the TDIF-1 specification.

The 8 channel TDIF I/O module makes it possible
to interface to equipment with a standard Tascam
TDIF interface. The module fully supports the
original TDIF 1 standard, the TDIF 96 extension
as well as the TDIF double speed format. The
module supports 8 channel I/O at 44.1 kHz or 96
kHz.
At 88.2 and 96 KHz the two TDIF interfaces are
required if the TDIF mode is TDIF-1 or TDIF 96. In
this case channel 1-4 is interfaced via connector
1, and channel 5-8 via connector 2.
Only a single interface connection is needed for
the TDIF DS mode, and in all three modes at 44.1
and 48 kHz sample rates.
TDIF mode is selected via DADman.

If you want to use an Antona RS232 to RS422
converter for controlling the Sphynx 2, you will
require a special cable between the Sphynx 2 and
the Antona converter.
