Transferring from DAT to Delta 66
1. Connect the DAT's coaxial S/PDIF output to the S/PDIF In of the Delta 66 PCI
host card, using a good quality cable.
2. Connect the Delta 66 analog outputs 1 & 2 to some type of amplified sound
system. The sound system should be equipped with speakers or headphones.
Set the software +4/Consumer/-10 switch on the Delta Outputs to be compatible
with that sound system's inputs.
3. Because you will be recording from the S/PDIF input, you will need to set up
the Delta 66 to synchronize its master clock with the S/PDIF input. To do this,
open the Hardware Settings page of the control panel software. Under Master
Clock, select "S/PDIF In."
4. Next, you will need to tell your application software the expected sample rate.
We'll use 44.1 kHz in this example. Therefore, on the Hardware Settings page,
set the "S/PDIF Sample Rate" to 44,100.
5. In order to monitor the digital signal coming into the Delta 66, switch to the
Patchbay/Router page of the control panel software. In the "H/W Out 1/2"
column, select the radio button labeled "S/PDIF In." This will copy all S/PDIF
input audio directly over to the analog outputs. Therefore, in this example, the
monitor mixer will be completely bypassed. Once this assignment is made, you
may play the DAT material at any time and verify that it is making it into the
Delta 66 successfully. This can be done regardless of whether or not your
recording software is open.
