First Usage - Quick Start - Nuendo DD8 Operation Manual

5. First Usage – Quick Start
The user interface of the Nuendo DD 8 is characterized by a clearly
structured architecture and an unambiguous labelling of the front and
rear sides. The device can thus be used without a manual without prob-
lems, because numerous LEDs show the state of the device and all in-
coming and outgoing signals in a strictly logical way.
However, we have to question this statement a little, because we
couldn't stop ourselves and integrated everything in the Nuendo DD 8
that we could think of and that was in any way possible. As a conse-
quence, you will find some application examples in chapter 10 that
break up the logical structure of the front board. Those are however
very special applications for professionals, where we anticipate both
the understanding of those modes and the ability to read a manual.
When being switched on for the first time, the Nuendo DD 8 comes up
in a default mode, which should be appropriate for most applications.
Both converters are set to their typical format conversion modes, and
synchronize to the input signals.
AES to ADAT/TDIF:
• SOURCE: AES
• SRC not active
• Slave mode (CLOCK AES / INPUT)
ADAT/TDIF to AES:
• SOURCE: ADAT
• Slave mode (CLOCK ADAT / INPUT)
• AES STATE PRO
If the device is being used with TDIF, only source TDIF instead of ADAT
has to be selected in the right part.
The Nuendo DD 8 remembers all settings before switching off and sets
them automatically when switching on the next time.
A quick guide for operation and functions of the Nuendo DD 8 can be
found on the next pages (Tour de Nuendo DD 8).
