Useful Information - TerraTec EWS88 MT Manual

Useful information.

The digital interfaces on the EWS88 all transmit bit resolutions between 8 and 24 bit, as well
as all sample rates between 8kHz and 96kHz. The same applies to the optical interface.
However, as an ADAT Signal is transmitted via a TOS link-cable, its maximum sampling
frequency is physically restricted to 48kHz, because 8 channels apear simultaneously.
The EWS88 D allows you to use optical interfaces independent from the ADAT standard and,
for example, to the S/PDIF-standard. This will enable the card to transmit data with a 96kHz
sampling rate. The relevant settings in the ControlPanel for this are described in detail from
page 53.
Various manufacturers of software DVD-players ( i.e. Power DVD, Version 5.55 ) support
playback of DVD audio material through the EWS88. This allows you to split the signals ( 5.1 or
7.1) and playback AC3 or DTS material. You can find more information on the Power DVD on:

The AudioSystem EWS88 D allows you to convert ADAT-signals to S/PDIF and vice versa. The
relevant settings in the ControlPanel for this are described in detail from page 53.
