Congratulations on your purchase of the Otari FS-96!
The Otari FS-96 is a device for converting signal formats and
sample rates of digital audio signals. A total of five professional
digital audio formats (ADAT, AES/EBU, SDIF-2, TDIF-1, OPTION)
are supported and 24 channels of digital audio signals can be
converted simultaneously to all of the signal formats available on
the FS-96, at the desired sample rate.
In addition to the format and sample rate conversion capabilities,
the FS-96 can be used as a digital signal router and the
connections between the input and output channels can be
changed internally without changing any physical connections.

Five Digital Audio Formats:
The FS-96 supports five digital
audio formats (ADAT, AES/EBU, SDIF-2, TDIF-1, OPTION). The
digital audio signals input in any of these formats can be output
in all of the formats available on the FS-96.
■
24-channel Capacity with Signal Routing Function:
The
FS-96 can handle 24 channels of audio inputs at the same time.
By using the signal routing function, the connections between
the input and output channels can be changed internally without
changing any physical connections.
■
96 kHz Sample Rate & 24-bit Quantization:
The FS-96
supports sample rates of 32 kHz to 96 kHz and bit resolution of
16 to 24 bit. By using the internal sample rate converters, the
sample rate and bit resolution of the input audio can be changed
as desired.
■
Same Format Sample Rate Conversion:
Whenever audio is
input in a given format, the output for that same format is also
available, and it can be sample rate converted to the same
output format if needed.
■
Accurate Clock Generation Circuit:
The FS-96 is equipped
with an accurate clock generation circuit for achieving signal
accuracy at professional level . Even unstable digital inputs can
be regenerated as accurate outputs.
■
Preset Memories for Operation and Routing Settings:
A maximum of 10 preset memories can be used for storing each
of operation and routing settings. Furthermore, combinations of
operation and routing memories can be stored into four PRESET
keys and they can be recalled by merely pressing a PRESET key.
■
Various Signal Synchronization:
The output audio can be
synchronized to any of three signals — FS-96’s internal clock
signal, external Word Clock signal, and the input audio signal.
■
Linking Multiple Units with Sample Accuracy:
Multiple FS-
96 units can be synchronized with phase-level sample accuracy
by linking the units using Word Clock signals.
■
Bi-directional Conversion with TDIF and AES/EBU:
Simultaneous bi-directional signal format conversions are
possible between the TDIF-1 and AES/EBU interfaces. This
mode is provided especially for digital recorders having the TDIF-
1 interfaces.
■
Status Data Editing Function:
It is possible to edit the
status data contained in each of the digital audio formats.
■
Expansion with Option Slots:
An option slot is provided on
the rear panel to accept a new digital audio format by inserting
an expansion module.
■
Comprehensive Operations with LCD:
All system
configurations are done in menu-driven screens via the LCD.
■
19" Standard Rack:
Each FS-96 includes a set of adapters
for installing into a standard 19-inch rack. The FS-96 occupies
only a 2U rack space.
■
Universal Power Supply Included:
The FS-96 is equipped
with a universal power supply circuit which supports AC voltages
and frequencies used all over the world.
