    • 2 aluminium standoffs, • 1 plastic standoff • 1 user’s guide The procedure for installing the X-Digi-Mix card into an Apogee Rosetta 800 is shown below: 1) Remove the top cover of the interface 2) Remove the Option Card coverplate and install the X-Digi-Mix coverplate using the screws from the original coverplate.

  • Page 6: Connections

    1) The unit connected to the Digidesign PCI card installed in the computer’s first PCI slot (usually a Mix Core or d24 card) is the clock master of the entire system. We recommend that an Apogee unit be installed as the Master, allowing the entire system to benefit from Apogee’s Low Jitter Clock.

    CLOCK SOURCE to “WC”. When distributing Word Clock to several units, we highly recommend the use of a Master Digital Clock such as Apogee’s Big Ben. In lieu of a Big Ben, it’s acceptable to connect a BNC “T” connector to SLAVE 1 WC IN, connect one side to the MASTER WC OUT and the other side to the SLAVE 2 WC IN, and so forth.

    (Digi-888) Slave Unit • When connecting a Rosetta 800 and a Digidesign interface, Apogee recommends that the Rosetta 800 be connected to the Mix Core or d24 card, thereby configuring it as the clock master of the system; the Digidesign interfaces should be connected to the remaining cards.

  • Page 9: Configuring X-Digi-Mix-Equipped Interfaces In Pro Tools

    Though Digidesign Mix Systems support sample rates up to 48 kHz, it’s possible to record and play back digital audio at sample rates up to 96kHz on a Mix system with a X-Digi-Mix-equipped Apogee interface. This is accomplished by transmitting data to and from Digidesign hardware in a “double- wide”...

    1) Create a Pro Tools session whose sample rate is half the desired rate (i.e., create a 44.1kHz session to record 88.2kHz audio. 2) Once the Apogee interface has recognized the sample rate of the session, manually set it to the desired high resolution sample rate. When using more than one Apogee interface, the Slave interfaces must be clocked from the Master Word Clock Output.
