downloading new software via the
Connect up Remote ports using a 9-way screened cable, fitted with 9-way 'D'-
type connectors at each end, wired pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc. Suitable
cables are available from dCS.
Mains Supply
Switched, fused and filtered IEC mains connector.
Additional Information
As well as connectors, the rear panel displays the following information about
the unit, near the mains supply connector:
Mains Voltage
Manufacturers Name and Country of origin (dCS Ltd, UK)
The underside of the unit will have a label on that contains a number such as
900 1A2 3B4 5C6 7D8 12345. This is the serial number, but it also contains
vital configuration information. We will need this number (all of it) to give you
support over the phone, or to ship you software updates.
Digital Data Formats
The unit provides five digital data i/o formats,
AES/EBU
Dual AES
SDIF-2
SPDIF (electrical)
SPDIF (optical)
For all formats, the incoming Channel Status and User messages are handled
according to a priority system – they are either passed through, where this is
sensible, or generated and inserted by the unit.
The enhanced AES/EBU interface is fully implemented. Each channel has its
own parity and data validity bit, as well as User and Channel Status messages.
Cyclic Redundancy Counts (CRC's) are generated from the Channel Status
message. The Dual AES interface allows a 96 or 88.2 kS/s 24 bit signal to be
coded as two standard 48 or 44.1 kS/s 24 bit AES data streams, recorded as
four channels on a recorder with standard capacity, replayed and decoded back
into a single data stream / channel pair.
SDIF-2 message bits are internally set to zero, with the exception of the block
code, which is implemented.
The SPDIF interface has no CRC's – as per definition. The data structure for
electrical and optical interfaces is identical.
