8. Operation and Usage
8.1 Connections
Digiset
The front of the I/O-box Digiset has the second MIDI input and output,
the analog stereo output of the digital mixer, and several status LEDs:
MIDI State indicates sent or received data separately for each MIDI
port.
Input State indicates a valid input signal separately for each input.
SyncCheck shows through a blinking LED which of the input signals is
locked but not in sync with the others. See page 31.
The red HOST LED lights up when the power supply or the computer is
switched on, this signalling the presence of operating voltage. At the
same time it operates as Error LED, in case the I/O-box wasn’t initialised,
or the connection to the interface has been interrupted (cable not con-
nected etc.).
Phones is a low impedance line output of highest quality which can
produce sufficient volume undistorted even in connected head-
phones.
The back of the Digiset has the first MIDI input and output, the power
supply connector
AUX (only needed with CardBus operation), and all
digital inputs and outputs:
ADAT I/O (TOSLINK), 1 to 3. The ADAT1 I/O can also be used for optical
S/P-DIF, if this mode is selected in the Settings dialog.
S/P-DIF I/O coaxial (phono).
Wordclock I/O (BNC).
ADAT Sync In (D-sub 9-pin).
The S/P-DIF inputs are selected via the Settings dialog (started by click-
ing on the Nuendo symbol in the system tray). The Audiolink 96 system
accepts the commonly used digital audio formats, S/P-DIF as well as
AES/EBU. Channel status and copy protection are ignored.
