The settings found in this menu are for configuring the status bits of the TDIF
outputs; “Adv.” means “for advanced users only”. In most applications, the
default settings for these outputs are used, but in certain circumstances it may
be necessary to make manual adjustments.
The table below shows the options available for each output:

Working with TDIF Devices:
When the OnAir 500 is synchronized to an external wordclock source, most
digital devices connected to the TDIF digital outputs will happily synchronize
to the wordclock being sent from the console via the TDIF digital output or
the BNC wordclock output.
In most applications the TDIF digital output can be set to
Auto
configure in
the
TDIF Out Adv.
setup menu.
In some cases the receiving device connected to the TDIF digital output may
not synchronize correctly, and it may be necessary to manually configure the
sample rate for the TDIF output.
The sample rate flag must be set to the same wordclock setting that the OnAir
500 is receiving; i.e. if the external clock being sent to the OnAir 500 is 48 kHz,
then the sample rate flag is set to 48 kHz as well.
Output Buffer:
The OnAir 500 has two different modes of operation, depending on what type
of TDIF-equipped device is connected to the TDIF port.
1 TDIF-based devices, such as Tascam digital tape recorders or Soundscape
digital audio workstations can connect directly to the TDIF port. In this case
the
O/P Buffer
setting should be set to
Other
.
2 There are different interface boxes by Soundcraft that can connect to the
TDIF port on the rear panel to provide additional digital or analog inputs
and outputs. When any of these I/O interface boxes are connected, the
O/P
Buffer
setting should be set to
Soundcraft
.
