Input
Defines the current input.
Stereo Devices (W2k only)
SyncAlign operates fully automated and should be kept active all the time. Only in case the
stereo devices must operate completetely independent, deactivating this setting may be neces-
sary.
Safe Mode
Check Input verifies the current input signal against the settings in the record program. When
de-activated a recording will always be allowed, even with non-valid input signals.
Output
With ‘Automatic’ active, the input signal reaches the output only whilst recording. ‘Play only’
prevents the input signal from being passed to the output. After selecting ‘Input’, the input sig-
nal appears at the output whenever playback is not active.
Output Format
Default: Consumer. Switches SPDIF into Professional mode. Specific information can be found
in chapter 11.
Clock Mode
The card can be configured to use the selected input (AutoSync) or its internal clock (Master)
as clock source.
Status Displays
The displays at the bottom of the dialog box give precise information about the current status of
the card, like format of input and output signal, sample rate at input and output, or current clock
mode.
9.2 Windows 9x
DIGI32 uses the Device Manager for configuration. Unfortunately accessing the DIGI32
inside the Device Manager is not as simple as it could be. To shorten the laborious way to the
tab Settings a link is copied to the desktop (C:\Windows\ Desktop), its icon to C:\Windows\.
Using the shortcut Ctrl-Num2 (the number 2 on the number block) or a double click on the DIGI
symbol lets you jump straight to the Device Manager. From there it's only a few clicks to 'Set-
tings'. If you need continous access to 'Settings', simply don't close it. With Ctrl-2 'Settings' gets
into the foreground at any time.
