The settings found in this menu are for configuring the Status Bits of the TDIF outputs. In most
applications the default settings for these outputs are used, but in certain circumstances it may
be necessary to make manual adjustments.
The table below shows the options available for each output.
Working with TDIF Devices
When the RM1d is synchronised to an external Word Clock source, most digital devices connected
to the RM1d's TDIF digital outputs will happily synchronise to the Word Clock being sent from
the RM1d via the TDIF digital output or BNC Word Clock Output.
In most applications the TDIF digital output can be set to 'Auto' configure in the TDIF OUT ADV.
Setup Menu. (See below)
In some cases the receiving device connected to the RM1d's TDIF digital output may not
synchronise correctly and it may be necessary to manually configure the Sample Rate for the
TDIF output.
The Sample Rate Flag will need to be set to the same Word Clock setting that the RM1d is
receiving i.e. if the external clock being sent to the RM1d is 48kHz then the Sample Rate Flag
should also be set 48kHz.
The Output Buffer
The RM1d has two different modes of operation depending on what type of TDIF equipped
device is being connected to the TDIF port.
1
There are three different interface boxes that can connect to the TDIF port on the rear
of the RM1d to provide additional digital or analogue inputs and outputs, these are:
l
Analogue Tape Interface - 8 x Unbalanced RCA/Phono inputs and outputs.
l
AES/EBU Interface - 4 x AES/EBU inputs and outputs.
l
Mic/Line Interface - 8 x Balanced inputs and outputs, with 48v phantom power.
When any of the above I/O interface boxes are connected the 'Output Buffer' setting should be
set to Soundcraft.
2
Other TDIF based devices such as Tascam digital tape machines and Soundscape
digital audio workstations can also connect directly to the TDIF port.
In this case the 'Output Buffer' should be set to 'Other'.
