Buffer Size:

The setting ‘Buffer Size’ determines the latency between incoming and outgoing data, as well

as affecting system stability (see chapter 13). We recommend selecting the highest value here

(8192 samples) - the board itself will still run comfortably.

SPDIF In:

Defines the input for the SPDIF

signal. 'Coaxial' relates to the white

phono plug, 'Internal' to the jumper

CD In (ST3), 'ADAT1' to the optical

input ADAT1.

SPDIF Out:

The SPDIF output signal is

constantly available at the internal

jumper Sync Out (ST4) and the red

phono plug. After selecting 'ADAT1' it

is also routed to the optical output

ADAT1. For further details about the

settings ‘Professional’, ‘Emphasis’

and ‘Non-Audio’, please refer to

chapter 11.

Clock Mode:

The card can be configured to use

the external input signal (AutoSync)

or its internal clock (Master) as clock

source.

Pref. Sync Ref.:

Used to pre-select the desired clock source. If the selected source isn't available the card will

change to the next available one. The currently used clock source and sample rate is displayed

in the SyncRef display.

Options:

'Alt. ASIO Mode' activates a different ASIO callback method. This setting is performed in real-

time and under operation. Therefore it's very easy to check whether this setting results in any

performance advantages. This setting is recommended for Logic (emagic) and Spark (TC).

After activating 'ADAT1 Int.' the optical input ADAT1 will be routed to the internal input (CD In).

Then the 4- or 8-channel signal of an AEB-I can be received. The optical input can no longer be

used with an ADAT signal, but can still be used as SPDIF input. For this to work select 'ADAT1'

under 'SPDIF In'.
