Hookup
1. Connect the three TDIF cables between the corresponding TDIF jacks on
the HDR24/96 and D8B.
2. When TDIF is used, the D8B must have a Clock I/O card installed. To
make the D8B the clock master, connect its Word Clock Out (not DIO•8
Sync out) to the HDR24/96 Word Clock In. To make the HDR24/96 the
clock master, connect its Word Clock Out to the D8B Word Clock In.
See Figure 1.
HDR24/96 Settings
1. Set the Tape Input format for each DIO•8 card to TDIF, and the Tape
Output format to TDIF.
2. If the HDR24/96 is the clock master, set the Sample Clock to Internal;
if it is a clock slave, set it to Word Clock and depress the 75 Ω
termination switch on the Sync card.
3. Set the Sample Rate to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz according to your
preference.
Console Settings

Internal or 48 k Internal; if it is a clock slave, set the Sample Clock to
either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. Set the Sample Rate to match the Sample
Rate selected on the HDR24/96.
