Getting Started

Project

• Start a new project (

PROJECT:New

). Either accept

the default name (

Project#1

) by selecting 

New

, or press

Page Right 

 to enter a new name. When finished,

press Page Left 

 and select 

New

.

I/O

• 

Choose either the 

analog inputs

 or 

digital inputs

 using

the 

INPUT TYPE SELECT

 menu (

SETUP:I/O:Page

Right Twice 

:INPUT TYPE SELECT

), or customize

a combination of both.

See “Hookups” on page 12 of the Operation Manual for
examples of both analog and digital connections.

• By default, track numbers are assigned to their
corresponding inputs and outputs. You can customize
the mapping of the inputs (

SETUP:I/O:TRACK INPUT

SELECT

) and outputs (

SETUP:I/O:Page Right 

:

TRACK OUTPUT SELECT

) to different tracks.

Sync:

• Choose the 

sample clock source

 (

SETUP:Sync:SClk

).

If the SDR24/96 is providing the master clock, select
Internal. If the SDR is a slave and syncing to an
external clock through the Word Clock input, select
Word Clock. Select ADAT A, B, or C if syncing to a self-
clocking ADAT™ optical input.

• Choose the 

sample rate

 (

SETUP:Sync:SRate

). When

recording with the analog inputs, choose any sample
rate appropriate for your project. 

You must use the same

sample rate throughout a project.

 When recording with

the digital inputs, the sample rate must be the same as
the digital source.

• Choose your preferred 

sample size

 (

SETUP:Sync:Page

Right 

:SSize

), either 16-bit or 24-bit.

• Choose the 

time code source

 (

SETUP:Sync:TcSrc

) if

the SDR is chasing to time code (

T-CODE CHASE

). Use

Jam Continuous when all devices are synced to the
same master clock. Use Chase when the you are using
the SDR24/96’s internal sample clock (no external clock
connected) and you want to sync to external time code.

Front Panel Description

 Indicate the signal level

at the inputs or outputs, depending on the monitoring
mode selected. OL on the meter corresponds to +22 dBu
at the analog input, and 0 dBFS at the digital input.

 Used to arm tracks for

recording, or to select tracks for editing. The red LED at
the bottom of the meter blinks while in Record Standby,
and lights steadily while actually recording.
