Digital I/O Card—AES/EBU
(CD8-AE/CD8-AE-S)
The AES/EBU digital I/O cards (CD8-AE/CD8-AE-S) are used to connect
AES/EBU compatible multitrack digital recorders or other similar digital
devices to the 02R.
Installing the CD8-AE/CD8-AE-S
The CD8-AE card is a double slot card (see “Double Slot Cards” on page
222). The CD8-AE-S card is a single slot card (see “Single Slot Cards” on
page 221).
1.
Connect the AES/EBU compatible multitrack digital recorder to
the 02R using the appropriate connectors.
Use high quality 110
Ω
digital connecting cables to connect to the
CD8-AE card. Use 25-pin D-SUB cables that are suitable for digital
audio use to connect to the CD8-AE-S card.
2.
If your AES/EBU compatible multitrack digital recorder has a
dedicated wordclock output connector, connect it to the WORD
CLOCK—IN connector on the back of the 02R and turn the 75
Ω
terminator switch on.
If there is no dedicated wordclock output, you can obtain the
wordclock signal required from one of the digital interconnect lines.
Note:
A dedicated wordclock connection will give you the best wordclock
synchronization results.
