KDS Out
. This output is designed for linking two
DMTi
s together, or linking
the
DMTi
with other KDS-compatible equipment, including any K2500
Series instrument equipped with a KDFX board. Without the KDFX board,
those instruments have only a single return input pair, and that pair is
accessed, as described on Page 4, on the
KDS In
jack. The
KDS Out
jack,
unlike the
KDS In
, is unidirectional, and carries only the eight output
channels being generated by the
DMTi
.
KDS In
. As described on Page 4, the
KDS In
includes a two-channel output to
the K2500, known as the “Return”, which allows signals being processed
through the
DMTi
to be sampled with the K2500.
MDM
. If you have the ADAT option, a pair of jacks, one optical and one DB-9,
labelled
Out
serves as the output to an ADAT-format digital multitrack
recorder or mixer. (Do not confuse the ADAT optical connector with the
AES optical connectors.) On the DA-88 (TDIF-1) option, the DB-25
connector serves as both input and output.
Note: All of the audio outputs are in parallel, and all are “live” all the time.
Therefore, a signal that is routed to the
AES1
output will also appear at the
first two channels of the
MDM
output (“
1-2
”), the first pair of the
KDS Out
jack (“
A
”), and the “return” to the K2500 located on the
KDS In
jack. You
can monitor signals as they go through the
DMTi
by listening to one of the
unused outputs through an appropriate device such as a DAT.
The
Word Clock
Out
put carries a word clock signal, the source of which is
determined by the
Output Sync Clock Select
switch. This signal is either
derived from an incoming digital audio signal; is generated by the
DMTi
; or
is an echo of the signal appearing at the
Word Clock In
put. If the switch is
set to an input at which there is no signal, then either no signal or an
unstable, unpredictable signal will appear at this output. Like the input,
this output uses a 75
Ω
unbalanced coaxial cable with a BNC connector.
