9.8 Digital Connections
ADAT
The ADAT optical input of the Babyface Pro is fully compatible with all ADAT optical outputs.
RME's unsurpassed Bitclock PLL prevents clicks and drop outs even in extreme varipitch op-
eration, and guarantees a fast and low jitter lock to the digital input signal. A usual TOSLINK
cable is sufficient for connection. More information on Double Speed (S/MUX) can be found in
chapter 26.4.
ADAT In
Interface for a device sending an ADAT signal to the Babyface Pro. Carries the channels 1 to 8.
When receiving a Double Speed signal, this input carries the channels 1 to 4, at Quad Speed
the inputs 1 and 2.
ADAT Out
Interface for a device receiving an ADAT signal from the Babyface Pro. Transmits channels 1 to
8. When sending a Double Speed signal, this port carries channels 1 to 4, at Quad Speed the
channels 1 and 2.
Note: To use the optical output as ADAT port set the option Optical to
ADAT
in the Settings
dialog.
SPDIF
The optical input automatically switches to SPDIF operation when such a signal is detected.
The audio information is then shown in TotalMix on the first two ADAT channels, AS 1 and AS
2.
Activating the option TMS in the Windows Settings dialog enables RME’s DIGICheck to analyze
the Channel Status of the input signal.
To send out SPDIF from the optical output, select the option
Optical – SPDIF
in the Settings
dialog. The output signal in TotalMix has to be present on the first ADAT channels, AS 1+2.
MIDI
Babyface Pro offers one MIDI I/O via two 5-pin DIN jacks. The MIDI ports are added to the sys-
tem by the driver. Using MIDI capable software, these ports can be accessed under the name
Babyface Pro Midi
. Using more than one Babyface Pro, the operating system adds a consecu-
tive number to the port name, like
Babyface Pro MIDI (2)
etc.
The MIDI ports support multi-client operation. A MIDI input signal can be received by several
programs at the same time. Even the MIDI output can be used by multiple programs simultane-
ously. However, due to the limited bandwidth of MIDI, this kind of application will often show
various problems.
