S/PDIF DIGITAL INPUTS/OUTPUTS.

For those of you unfamiliar, S/PDIF inputs and outputs look like RCA
jacks, but they process very different information. They allow you to
transmit and receive audio digitally, so it is not subject to the signal
degradation and interference that is present in analog transfers. S/PDIF
transfers a stereo audio signal through one cable. Standard RCA cables
can be used, but it is best to work with a cable designed specifically for
S/PDIF . Our S/PDIF can accept digital information with a bit depth of 16,
24 or any in between. Our S/PDIF inputs and outputs only work with
other S/PDIF devices.
To activate the S/PDIF input for recording, go to the Q10 control panel
and select ADVANCED, then select the General tab. In the lower left,
you will have the option to select the Channels 9/10 recording source.
Select S/PDIF . Once this is selected, you can record S/PDIF by choosing
Q10 input 9,10 in your audio recording software.
If you are recording with the S/PDIF input, you must have the "Source
Select" in the Q10 control panel set to S/PDIF , otherwise, unwanted
digital noise will occur.
You can designate what comes from this output in the Q10 Routing
menu. However, S/PDIF is not listed as a choice in Routing. Instead, the
S/PDIF output will carry the same signal as Analog outputs 7 & 8.
