1. POWER switch and indicator
Turns on or off the power to the UC-8.
When on, the indicator illuminates on green.
2. Fs SELECT switch and indicators
Selects the Fs when converting an adat digital signal
that does not have the Fs status information in the
signal. You can select 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, and the
appropriate indicator illuminates.
When converting signals which contains the Fs status
information in the signals, it takes priority and the
setting of the Fs SELECT switch is ineffective.
3. 75
Ω
TERMINATION switch
Set the switch to ON when receiving an external word
clock. Otherwise, set the switch to OFF.
4. CLOCK SELECT switch
Selects the master clock.
See "Basic Connections and Settings" for details.
5. LOCKED indicator
Shows the status of the clock selected by the CLOCK
SELECT switch as follows.
6. FORMAT CONVERSION switch
Selects the combination of source and destination for-
mats. You can select from the following:
7. adat OUTPUT connector
Feeds the signal converted to the adat format to an
external unit.
8. adat INPUT connector
Receives an adat format signal from an external de-
vice.
9. TDIF-1 connector
Receives TDIF-1 format signals from an external de-
vice, or feeds the signal converted to the TDIF-1 for-
mat to an external unit.
10. AES/EBU OUTPUT connectors
Feeds the signal converted to the AES/EBU format to
an external unit.
11. AES/EBU OUTPUT connectors
Receives an AES/EBU format signal from an external
device.
12. WORD OUTPUT connector
Feeds a word clock to an external device when the
UC-8 acts as a clock master.
13. WORD INPUT connector
Receives a word clock from an external digital device
when the UC-8 is slaved to an external word clock.
Make sure that the 75
Ω
TERMINATION switch on the
front panel is set to ON when the unit is slaved to an
external clock.
14. AC IN connector
Connects the supplied power cord.
