19. Configuring the HDSPe AIO
19.1 Settings Dialog
Configuring the HDSPe AIO is done via its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can be
opened by clicking on the hammer icon in the dock. The mixer of the HDSPe AIO, TotalMix, can
be opened by clicking on the mixer icon in the dock.
The HDSPe’s hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions and op-
tions which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different require-
ments. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:
•
Level of analog I/Os
•
Configuration of digital I/Os
•
Synchronization behaviour
•
State of input and output
•
Current sample rate
Any changes performed in
the Settings dialog are ap-
plied immediately - confirma-
tion (e.g. by exiting the dia-
log) is not required. However,
settings should not be
changed during playback or
record if it can be avoided, as
this can cause unwanted
noises.
The status displays at the
bottom of the dialog box give
the user precise information
about the current status of
the system, and the status of
all digital signals.
AEB / TEB
ADAT In switches the input ADAT from the optical connector to the internal connector ADAT In .
Here an Expansion Board (AEB4-I, AEB8-I, TEB) can be connected.
SPDIF Out
The SPDIF output signal is constantly available at the phono plug. After selecting 'Optical' it is
also routed to the optical TOSLINK output. For further details about the setting ‘Professional’
please refer to chapter 23.2.
SPDIF In
Defines the input for the SPDIF signal. 'Optical' relates to the optical TOSLINK input, 'Coaxial' to
the RCA socket, 'Internal' to the jumper SPDIF IN.
Clock Mode
The unit can be configured to use its internal clock source (Master), or the clock source pre-
defined via
Pref Sync Ref (AutoSync).
Word Clock Out
The word clock output signal usually equals the current sample rate. Selecting Single Speed
causes the output signal to always stay within the range of 32 kHz to 48 kHz. So at 96 kHz
sample rate, the output word clock is 48 kHz.
