6.2 Internal Connectors
X300
14-pin connector for the included HDSPe RayDAT Expansion Board.
X402
10-pin connector for a connection of the Time Code Option (TCO).
X100
No function. Used to program the card in the factory.
X400 Sync In
Internal word clock input for synchronization of multiple cards via SYNC OUT.
X401 Sync Out
This 3-pin connector carries an internal word clock signal. It can be used to synchronize multiple
cards with sample accuracy, and without the need for an external connection. The card where
SYNC OUT is used is Master, the one with SYNC IN is Slave. In the Settings dialog the Slave
has to be set to
Sync In under Pref. Sync Ref , the Clock Mode must be set to AutoSync .
SPDIF OUT (X502)
Internal SPDIF output, operates in parallel to the coaxial output.
AEB1 IN / CD IN (X503)
This internal digital input can be used with both SPDIF and ADAT format.
SPDIF

Connection to an internal CD-ROM drive with digital audio output. Allows for a direct trans-
fer of digital audio data within the computer.

Connection to SPDIF output of another card. This internal SPDIF connection can be used
to synchronize multiple cards with sample accuracy, and without the need for an external
connection. Please note that the external SPDIF input can no longer be used.
ADAT

Connection of a TEB* (TDIF Expansion Board). The highest sample rate is 96 kHz, the 4-
channel
Double Wire mode (S/MUX) is automatically activated in Double Speed mode. Se-
lect AEB / TEB ADAT1 In in the Settings dialog.

Connection of an AEB4-I* or AEB8-I*. When using these Expansion Boards X507 (single 3-
pin socket) must also be connected to the Expansion Board. The highest sample rate is 48
kHz. Select
AEB /TEB ADAT1 In in the Settings dialog.
AEB2 IN (X505)
Connection of a second AEBx-I* or TEB*. GND is the pin near the edge of the PCB. Select AEB
/ TEB ADAT2 In in the Settings dialog. In this configuration the optical input ADAT2 can not be
used anymore.
ADAT 1 OUT (X504)
This internal ADAT output carries the same audio data as the optical output ADAT1. Connecting
an AEB4-O* or AEB8-O*, the highest sample rate is 48 kHz. Connecting a TEB* the highest
sample rate is 96 kHz, the 4-channel
Double Wire mode (S/MUX) is automatically activated.
GND is the pin near the edge of the PCB.
ADAT 2 OUT (X501)
This internal ADAT output carries the same audio data as the optical output ADAT2. See ADAT1
OUT for details. Both ports can be used to operate one AEBx-O* each, for a maximum of 16
analog outputs.
* No longer available.
