F) RCA Digital Interface
Use these connectors to hook up the Eclipse to CD players, DAT recorders, and other audio
gear using RCA connectors. The connectors are two-conductor RCA jacks. Your plug
should have the shield connected to the sleeve with the single shielded conductor connected
at the tip. To select the RCA input as the digital source, go to

with two audio channels encoded into a single connector. We recommend the use of professional quality cables made of RG-59/U
coaxial cable. Ordinary "hi-fi" type leads may prove inadequate, especially at the higher sample rates.
G) Optical Digital Interface
Use these connectors to hook up the Eclipse to CD players, ADATs, and other audio gear
using optical connectors. Use a "Toslink" compatible optical cable

Use these BNC connectors with any audio gear that supports word clock. Word clock is a
more reliable time reference than that supplied by the digital audio itself. If synchronizing to

abled," a command received over either the serial port or the MIDI In port causes the port not receiving the command to be ignored
until the command is complete.
J) MIDI MIDI is used for instrument-to-instrument digital communications. The Eclipse sends and
receives Eventide system exclusive messages and, in addition, can respond to and generate
certain standard MIDI commands. The Eclipse has three MIDI ports:

The Eclipse accepts (and processes) MIDI messages received at the
MIDI In port. The connector is "7 pin" and can provide power to a
suitable pedal board, provided you supply power at the "Remote
Power In" socket described below. It can also send MIDI messages
from this connector to a suitably equipped system. This means, for
example, that a pedal board can be connected to the Eclipse by
means of a single cable that supplies power as well as a communica-
tion path. A normal "5 pin" MIDI cable can be used as a standard
MIDI input.
