Using the 888/24 I/O

5. 50-pin Interface Connector

 

This 50-pin Computer connector is used to 
connect the 888/24 I/O to a MIX card, d24 
audio card, Disk I/O card, or a DSP Farm 
card. The necessary cable is supplied with 
your Audio Interface. If you plan to con-
nect two 888/24 I/O Interfaces to a MIX 
card or d24 card, a 16-channel peripheral 
cable adapter is necessary. (This cable is 
available from your Digidesign dealer.)

 

6. S/PDIF Digital Input/Output

 

The Sony Phillips Digital Interface Format 
(S/PDIF) is used in many professional and 
consumer CD players and DAT recorders. 
The 888/24 I/O S/PDIF in/out jacks are un-
balanced 2-conductor phono (RCA) jacks 
which utilize a full 24-bit digital data 
stream. To avoid RF interference, use 75-
ohm coaxial cable for S/PDIF transfers and 
keep the cable length to a maximum of 10 
meters.

Because input channels 1–2 of the 
888/24 I/O are software selectable between 
analog or digital format, input to these two 
digital channels is disabled when analog 
input is chosen or when AES/EBU digital 
format is chosen in the Pro Tools Session 
Setup window. Output is continuously ac-
tive on both the AES/EBU and S/PDIF out-
put jacks, regardless of which digital input 
format is selected for channels 1–2. To 
avoid RF interference, use 75-ohm coaxial 
cable for S/PDIF transfers and do not ex-
ceed a cable length of 10 meters.

 

7/9. Slave Clock In/Out

 

The Slave Clock Out jack is a standard BNC 
type connector that outputs a 256 times 
sample rate Super Clock signal for slaving 
and synchronizing multiple Digidesign In-
terfaces and synchronization peripherals 
together. 

When the 888/24 I/O Sync Mode is set to 
Internal, connecting a valid Slave Clock 
Out signal to this port will cause the 
888/24  I/O to automatically switch to Slave 
mode. When the 888/24 I/O is the master 
interface or the first interface in a chain, 
Digital sync mode overrides the Slave 
Clock input, and an incoming Slave Clock 
Out signal will not switch the 888/24 I/O 
to Slave mode.

Because crucial timing data is passed over 
these ports, you should use high-quality, 
75-ohm RG-59 cables for making connec-
tions, and keep total cable length to less 
than 3 meters between interfaces. 

 

8. Power Input

 

This connector accepts a standard AC 
power cable. The Interface is auto power-
selecting (100V to 240V) and will automat-
ically work with a standard modular cable 
to connect to AC power receptacles in any 
country.
