Configuration; I/O Cards - Mackie HDR24 Quick Start Manual

Configuration

Before starting a Project, you will need to configure the HDR24/96 I/O card
options and synchronization parameters. These parameters determine where the
sample clock is coming from, how fast the sample clock runs, and how many bits
are recorded in every sample. Some options, like sample rate and bit depth, will
become "standards" that you won't need to change very often. The remaining
synchronization options (for time code and video) are covered in detail in the
Applications and Reference Manuals.

I/O Cards

Only the DIO•8 and PDI•8 cards require special configuration. If you are using
AIO•8 or OPT•8 cards only, you can skip to the next section.
