2.7.2 Using One Unit (24 Bidirectional Channels)

1. Move dip switch #1 to the down position.

2. Loop Format B MADI Out 2 to Format B MADI In 1.

3. If there is no sync on Format B, select Format A as the sync source from the front

panel.

4. Connect the third-party I/O devices.

The conversion is from third-party I/O channels 1–24 to channels 25–48. As always, all

third-party inputs are still converted to Format B MADI Out 1.

For example, to convert 24 channels of Pro Tools to 24 channels TDIF (DA88), connect

Pro Tools to third-party channels 1–24, connect the three DA88s to channels 25–48 and

follow the steps above.

• If you want to run the Precools sync in Digital Mode, make sure to connect a sync

source to the Format B Sync input.

• To run Precools in Internal Mode, sync on Format B is not necessary. If all the units

are not synchronized sample-rate conversion will engage.
