6.2 Internal Connectors

INT (X1202)
This internal digital input can be used with both SPDIF and ADAT format. It is activated by se-
lecting SPDIF In – Internal in the Settings dialog.
SPDIF

Connection to an internal CD-ROM drive with digital audio output. Allows for a direct trans-
fer of digital audio data within the computer.

Connection to an SPDIF output of another card. This internal SPDIF connection can be
used to synchronize multiple cards with sample accuracy, and without the need for an ex-
ternal connection. Please note that the coaxial SPDIF input can no longer be used.
ADAT

In this mode the optical input can only be used as optical SPDIF input.
SYNC IN (X400)
Internal word clock input for synchronization of multiple cards via SYNC OUT of another card.
SYNC OUT (X401)
This 3-pin connector carries an internal word clock signal. It can be used to synchronize multiple
cards with sample accuracy, and without the need for an external connection. The card where
SYNC OUT is used is Master, the one with SYNC IN is Slave. In the Settings dialog the Slave
has to be set to Sync In under Clock Source.
WCM / TCO (X402)
10-pin connector to connect the optional Word Clock Module or the optional Time Code Option
(TCO) via flat ribbon cable.
Digital I/O (X1201)
This 10-pin header allows internal access to all pins of the 9-pin D-Sub, and thus to the AES and
SPDIF I/Os of the card. Pin assignment of the pin header:
