one end, which connects to the 1212 I/O, and fans out to a pair of female
RCA connectors. One of these connectors is white, and labeled “In,” while
the other is yellow, and labeled “Out.”
S/PDIF stands for “Sony/Philips Digital Interface.” The S/PDIF format
carries two channels of digital audio, and is commonly used for
transferring stereo signals between DAT recorders, digital signal
processors, digital musical instruments, and so on.
S/PDIF input. The white RCA connector, labeled “In,” is the S/PDIF input.
You can connect this to the S/PDIF output of a DAT, signal processor,
sampler, and so on. Please use high-quality, shielded, 75-ohm cables
manufactured specifically for video or digital audio.
The 1212 I/O can accept either 16 or 20 bit audio data via the S/PDIF input.
S/PDIF output. The yellow RCA connector, labeled “Out,” is the S/PDIF
output. You can connect this to the S/PDIF input of a DAT, signal
processor, sampler, and so on. Please use high-quality, shielded, 75-ohm
cables manufactured specifically for video or digital audio.
The 1212 I/O can transmit either 16 or 20 bit audio data via the S/PDIF
output.

Word Clock and ADAT Sync breakout connector
This connector should only be used with the special Word Clock and ADAT
breakout cable included with the 1212 I/O. This cable has a 6-pin mini-DIN
connector at one end, which connects to the 1212 I/O, and fans out to a pair
of female BNC connectors, one yellow and one white, and the ADAT 9-pin
D-sub sync connector.
ADAT sync input. This 9-pin connector receives timecode from the ADAT
system. 1212 I/O-compatible digital audio software can use this to
synchronize recording and playback with a connected ADAT system.
Connect this to the ADAT Timecode Conditioner (described below) and
then to the ADAT’s sync out port. If you have multiple ADATs in your
system, connect this to the sync output of the last machine in the chain.
Word Clock input. The white BNC connector, labeled “In,” is the Word
Clock input. This allows the sample rate of the 1212 I/O to be controlled by
an external device. Connect this to the word clock output of the master
clock source.
The Word Clock input requires a shielded, video-quality cable (75-ohm or
greater impedance) with BNC connectors. This type of cable is different
from those commonly used in analog audio applications, but is readily
available at professional audio and video dealers.
Word Clock output. The yellow BNC connector, labeled “Out,” is the Word
Clock output. This allows the 1212 I/O to control the sample rate of an
external device; it will always echo the currently selected Clock Source (see
