    • An optional TASCAM digital interface board IB-D8TIF TDIF is available. • An optional Multi-channel AES/EBU digital interface board IB-D8MA is available. • The DR16 now can select the 8-channel digital output signals on the optional digital interface to be routed from either 1–8 tracks or 9–16 tracks.
  • Page 6: Extended Disk Format

    • You can “extended format” a disk of small capacity (i.g., 1.3GB), but it will not have enough physical space to accommodate 4000 files. • You cannot use an Extended-formatted disk on earlier versions of the DR8, DR16, or DD1500 before version 2.30.
  • Page 7: Crossfade Recording

    Note: The format type that appears on the display indicates the format type of the disk that con- tains the current project. If you wish to use another type of disk format, first load the project to the DR16, then change the indications. Crossfade recording You can make a crossfade setting with the range of 0-80ms to join parts of two recordings.

    DR16’s internal digital clock. However, the DR16 is also trying to lock to the external digital clock. This situation prevents synchronization. In order to avoid this, you can set the DR16 so that it will ignore the external digital clock fed from its digital input connector and reference the internal clock.

    Note: You will need an optional bi-phase interface board IB-806B to use this function. Trade Swapping The DR16 can select a set of 8-tracks (1–8 tracks or 9–16 tracks) assigned to route to the digital output of an optional multi-channel digital interface board (IB-804A-ADAT interface board, IB-D8TIF-TASCAM digital interface board.

    Installing an optional board IB-808G enables you to use GPIO (General Purpose Input and Output) and remote-control the DR16 from an external device. This optional board has 16 general purpose inputs (GPI) and 12 general purpose outputs (GPO). The following table shows the default operation of each pin.
