Saving Data Using The S/P Dif Or Adat Digital Signal - Fostex VF160EX Operation Manual

Saving data using the S/P DIF or adat digital signal

You can save data using the S/PDIF or adat digital signal via the [DIGITAL/DATA OUT] jack.
*Use an external device that supports 44.1 kHz sampling frequency (the same as the VF160EX).
Connecting to an external device
Connect the DIGITAL/DATA OUT jack to the digital input
jack of the external digital device (DAT or adat etc.).
<Note>
The DIGITAL/DATA OUT jack accommodates either the
S/PDIF (optical) or adat digital signal selected.
Though the S/PDIF (optical) and adat digital signal use
the same connector shape, the signal formats are
different.

adat or DAT
• When using the S/PDIF signal, if your DAT only
provide the coaxial (RCA) digital input jack and does
not provide the optical jack, use the optional COP-
1/96kHz (optical/coaxial converter).
• Do not connect digital signals for both directions
between the VF160EX and the external device (i.e.
the digital output of the VF160EX to the digital input
of the external device and the digital output of the
external device to the digital input of the VF160EX),
which may form a digital loop and cause feedback.
Setting the external device
1. Set the sampling frequency to 44.1 kHz (the same as
the VF160EX).
2. Set the input source to "digital input" to accept the
signal from the VF160EX.
Some machine also needs to select the clock reference
to "external" when setting the input source to "digital
input". See the operation manual of the machine for
the detailed information.
<Note>
If you cannot hear the input signal or you hear digital
noise when monitoring the source signal of the external
digital device, check the connections, cables and
settings of both the VF160EX and the external device.
*See the operation manual of the external device for
the detailed information.
