OTARI FS-96, Operation Manual, Page: 7 / 28

[16] TDIF-1 INPUT/OUTPUT connectors A – C
Used to connect the TDIF-1 signals. The 8 channels of both
inputs and outputs are aligned in a single connector and the FS-
96 uses three 25-pin D-sub connectors (A – C) for handling a
total of 24 channels.
[17] AES/EBU INPUT connectors A – C
[18] AES/EBU OUTPUT connectors A – C
Used to connect the AES/EBU (AES3) signals. Each connector
handles 8 channels of audio (2-channel stereo pair x 4) and the
FS-96 can handle a total of 24 channels of AES/EBU signals with
three connectors A – C.
[19] ADAT INPUT & OUTPUT connectors A – C
Used to connect the ADAT optical signals. Connections are
made with dedicated optic fiber cables and 8 channels of audio
can be connected with a single cable. The FS-96 provides three
systems of ADAT interfaces for handling a total of 24 channels.
[20] SDIF-2 INPUT connector & SYNC connector
[21] SDIF-2 OUTPUT connector & SYNC connector
Used to connect the SDIF-2 signals. A single 50-pin D-sub
connector (input = male, output = female) is used for connecting
the 24 channels simultaneously. Since the SDIF-2 format requires
a Word Clock signal for synchronization, a SYNC connector (BNC
type) is provided for each of input and output connector.
[22] WORD IN connector
Used to connect an external Word Clock signal which is to be
used as the reference clock signal for the output audio signals.
[23] WORD OUT connector
Used to output the reference clock for the output signals as a
Word Clock signal to external devices.
[24] Option Slot
An expansion slot for adding a new digital audio format to the
FS-96.
[25] AC IN connector
Used to connect the AC power supply to the unit. The fuse
holder is contained in the AC inlet. The power supply circuit of
the FS-96 supports AC voltages and frequencies used all over
the world.
[26] Auxiliary Ground Terminal
Auxiliary ground terminal for the power supply circuit. Use this
terminal when the proper grounding cannot be made with the
AC inlet.
