19. Configuring the HDSPe RayDAT

19.1 Settings Dialog

Configuring the HDSPe RayDAT is done via its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can be

opened by clicking on the hammer icon in the dock. The mixer of the RayDAT, TotalMix, can be

opened by clicking on the mixer icon in the dock.

The Hammerfall DSP’s hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions

and options which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different

requirements. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:

• Input selection

• Configuration of the digital I/Os

• Synchronization behaviour

• Input and output status

• Current sample rate

Any changes performed in the

Settings dialog are applied

immediately - confirmation (e.g.

by exiting the dialog) is not

required. However, settings

should not be changed during

playback or record if it can be

avoided, as this can cause

unwanted noises.

The status displays at the

bottom of the dialog box give

the user precise information

about the current status of the

system, and the status of all

digital signals.

Quick Boot

All the card's settings described below are stored in a hardware memory, and are loaded im-

mediately after a power-on of the computer. In clock mode Master even the last used sample

rate is set. Directly after switching on the computer, a stable and predictable clock state is found

at the HDSPe RayDAT's outputs. This advanced technology completely eliminates disturbing

noises and clock network problems during power-up or re-boot.

SPDIF Out

The SPDIF output signal is constantly available at the phono plug. After selecting 'ADAT4' it is

also routed to the optical TOSLINK output. For further details about the setting ‘Professional’

please refer to chapter 22.2.

SPDIF In

Defines the input for the SPDIF signal. 'Coaxial' relates to the phono socket, 'ADAT4' to the

optical TOSLINK input, Internal to the jumper ‘AEB1 In/CD In’.

AEB / TEB

ADAT1 In switches the input ADAT1 from the optical connector to the internal connector AEB 1

In / CD In. Here an Expansion Board (AEB4-I, AEB8-I, TEB) can be connected.

ADAT2 In switches the input ADAT2 from the optical connector to the internal connector AEB 2

In. Here an Expansion Board (AEB4-I, AEB8-I, TEB) can be connected.
