24. Disconnect Mode
RME's exclusive Disconnect mode lets you adjust level, input selection and signal mix via your
computer, and simply detach the Digiface afterwards. With this, a stand-alone operation of the
Digiface gets possible. When the Digiface has been configured using Settingsdialog and To-
talMix, it won't loose those settings after detaching it from the computer. Provided, the Digiface
is operated with an external power supply, because the Digiface (as all HDSP I/O-boxes) does
not contain memory, so all settings get lost upon power-off.
If you do not need to record or playback audio with your computer, the Digiface can be used in
a fixed configuration, for example as:
•
SPDIF / ADAT / SPDIF format converter with monitoring
•
SPDIF AD- or DA-converter
•
Mixer / patchbay / distributor analog and digital
•
Headphone mixer
•
ADAT Matrix Router
•
what ever you just need!
The unit can also stay connected to a desktop computer, receiving its power from there. The
Disconnect mode will then cause the unit to be isolated from the computer, no longer be avail-
able to any software or other changes – an interesting security application.
25. Analog Output Headphones
Channels 27/28 of the Digiface are available on the front via one 1/4" unbalanced TRS jack
(stereo output). This output uses a hi-grade converter, therefore maintains a high signal to
noise ratio and low distortion (THD+N).
The output is a special low impedance type, ready to be used with headphones. But it can also
be used as high-quality (yet unbalanced) stereo Line output.
Like all other outputs, the level of channels 27/28 can also be controlled by TotalMix. The
monitoring perfomed on 19/20 of any input or playback channels (submix, like factory presets 1
and 2) is also controlled from To-
talMix.
In case the output should operate as
line output, an adapter TRS plug to
RCA phono plugs, or TRS plug to TS
plugs is required.
The pin assignment follows interna-
tional standards. The left channel is
connected to the tip, the right channel
to the ring of the TRS jack/plug.
