Ma-Ad8 Converter; If-Da8 Converter - Tascam PCI-822 User Manual

MA-AD8 Converter

The TASCAM MA-AD8 converts 8 channels of microphone pre-amps to
an 8-channel TDIF signal. It also has word clock in and thru, phantom
mic power, and a TDIF pass-through connection.
The MA-AD8 is always slaved to either its word clock input or the main
TDIF connection (DIGITAL I/O 1). To use it with the PCI-822, connect a
TDIF cable from the PCI-822 to the MA-AD8's DIGITAL I/O 1 port, set
the MA-AD8's CLOCK switch to "TDIF-1," and set the PCI-822 clock
source to "Internal." The PCI-822 TDIF input status indicators should
be all green, and the "LOCKED" LED on the MA-AD8 should be lit.
Although a word clock cable could be connected from the PCI-822
output to the MA-AD8 input, it's not necessary since the TDIF cable
carries the same clock information.

IF-DA8 Converter

The TASCAM IF-DA8 provides 8 channels of line-level output from a
TDIF connection. Its clock source can be either the TDIF connection or
a word clock input. To use it with the PCI-822, connect a TDIF cable
from the PCI-822 to the IF-DA8's "DIGITAL I/O 2" TDIF connector, set
the IF-DA8's clock source to "D I/O 2," and set the PCI-822 clock
source to "Internal."
If you want to use the IF-DA8 and MA-AD8 simultaneously with the
PCI-822, connect one TDIF cable from the PCI-822 to the MA-AD8's
"DIGITAL I/O 1" connector, and connect another TDIF cable from the
MA-AD8's "DIGITAL I/O 2" connector to the IF-DA8's "DIGITAL I/O 2"
connector. In this configuration, the MA-AD8 passes the output from
the PCI-822 through to the IF-DA8.
