2.4 ADAT
1. Connect the ADAT adapter to the DB-50 ports on the FC727/726 rear panel.
2. Connect the ADAT optical cables to the ADAT rear panel and to the adapter’s
optical input and output.
3. Turn the MADI switch on the FC727/726 front panel to OFF (center position).
4. Set the ADAT adapter switch to the same setting used on the ADAT front panel.
If multiple slaved ADATs are connected, this switch should match the setting of
the first (master) ADAT. Always use the ADAT INT setting to perform SRC.
The switch on the ADAT adapter has two settings to tell the FC727/726 how to syn-
chronize to the ADAT optical device(s). Its setting depends on whether the connected
ADAT optical device slaves to the FC727/726 or runs on its own internal clock:
ADAT INT: The ADAT runs on its own internal clock (INT refers to internal).
ADAT DIG: The ADAT slaves to its optical (digital) inputs (DIG refers to digital).
Since the optical input comes from the FC727/726, this setting slaves the ADAT
to the FC727/726.
2.5 ProDigi
ProDigi (PD) is a 16-channel format with inputs and outputs on separate DB-50
connectors. The FC727/726 PD adapter has two DB-50 connectors, one for each eight-
channel bank (labeled 1–8 and 9–16). They may be connected to any bank on the
FC727/726 with one restriction: the connector labeled 1–8 must be connected to a low-
er-numbered bank than the 9–16 connector. This allows the channels to be routed in
eight-channel groups. Turn the MADI switch on the FC727/726 front panel to OFF
(center position).
