The Optical Out Source switch
The "Optical Out Source" switch has two settings, "Analog In" and "Optical In",
with an LED indicating which mode is selected.
Optical Out Source: Analog In
Analog In is the typical mode for the AI-3 to be used in. The eight analog inputs are
sent to the ADAT Optical Digital Out, and the ADAT Optical Digital In is sent to the
eight analog outputs. This mode is useful for recording with the ADAT/EDIT
computer system, routing signals to and from a digital mixer, and most other AI-3
applications.
Optical Out Source: Optical In
The Optical In mode is a feature included to avoid repatching when using the AI-3
with other ADAT Optical devices. When the Optical Out source is set to Optical In,
any ADAT Optical Input is routed directly to the ADAT Optical Output. This can be
useful in systems using an AI-3 with a ADAT/EDIT computer system and an ADAT.
See Chapter 3, "Applications", for some examples using this mode.
Note that the ADAT Optical Input is routed to both the ADAT Optical Output and
the eight Analog outputs in this mode.
