IF-TAD - Lightpipe to TDIF Converter

The IF-TAD simply converts the Lightpipe digital format to TDIF digital format, converting two optical
cables into one TDIF line for 2 way communication. Again, this can do more than simply link an ADAT to
the TM-D1000. It could be used to transfer ADAT tapes to Hi8 tapes, integrate DA-38s with Lightpipe
editors, and more.

IF-AE8 - 8 Channel TDIF to AES/EBU Converter

This single space rack unit converts a TDIF signal into 4 stereo pairs of AES/EBU in/out. This is handy
for connecting a ProTools 888 I/O, or multiple AES/EBU signals from samplers, DATs, etc.

IF-DA8 - 8 Channel Digital (TDIF) to Analog Converter

This single space rack unit converts digital signal from TDIF to analog for connecting analog recorders to
the TM-D1000. The IF-DA8's 24 bit converters support sample rates of 44.1kHz and 48kHz. For more
involved set-ups, Word Clock In and Thru ports are available, and its balanced outputs have an
adjustable maximum level of +15dBu, +20dBu, or +24dBu. This unit also has a cascading TDIF port, so
other TDIF units can be added to the line.
