Input
Defines the current input. Under W9x an additional option called
Autoselect
can be selected.
When active, the digital inputs will be changed automatically until a valid input signal is detec-
ted.
Stereo Devices (W2k only)
SyncAlign
operates fully automated and should be kept active all the time. Only in case the
stereo devices must operate completetely independent, deactivating this setting may be neces-
sary.
Safe Mode
Check Input
verifies the current input signal against the settings in the record program. When
de-activated a recording will always be allowed, even with non-valid input signals.
W9x only: 'Disable DS' deactivates the DirectSound support of the driver (see chapter 13.2).
Output
With ‘Automatic’ active, the input signal reaches the output only whilst recording. ‘Play only’
prevents the input signal from being passed to the output. After selecting ‘Input’, the input sig-
nal appears at the output whenever playback is not active.
Output Format
'Automatic' sets the output to 2-channel SPDIF or 8-channel ADAT mode, according to the
current use of the card's devices. Select 'Force Adat' to constantly have the output operating in
ADAT mode. 'A/S Conv.' forces the card's output into stereo operation.
Specific information about 'Professional', 'Emphasis' and 'Non-Audio' can be found in chapter
11.
Analog Output
Track
Defines, which of the four channel pairs is sent to the analog output.
Attenuation
Attenuation of the analog output level in steps of 6 dB.
Volume
Attenuation of the analog output level via fader. With 'Couple' activated, both faders move
simultaneously.
Clock Mode
The card can be configured to use the selected input (AutoSync), a word clock signal (Word
Clock), or its internal clock (Master) as clock source.
Status Displays
The displays at the bottom of the dialog box give precise information about the current status of
the card like format of input and output signal, sample rate at input and output, or current clock
mode.
