Page 6: Overview
• Interfaces with any analog or digital console. The HDR24/96 uses the same I/O cards as the Mackie Digital 8•Bus console: the AIO•8 (24-bit analog A/D and D/A), DIO•8 (TDIF/ADAT Optical), PDI•8 (AES/EBU), and low-cost OPT•8 (ADAT Optical). -
Page 7: Setup & Configuration
Of course, there’s more to a studio than a recorder and some musicians. At a minimum, you’ll need the following to make the HDR24/96 feel at home: • Three Mackie 8-channel I/O (input/output) cards. • A console with a minimum of 24 tape sends (buses or direct outputs) and returns (line inputs or monitor returns). -
Page 8: I/O Cards & Cables
DB25 AES/EBU cables for mating with your console, are readily available. PDI• 8 The PDI•8 is the only Mackie I/O card that currently supports 88.2 or 96 kHz operation. At these Sample Rates the PDI•8 card runs in “double- wide” (dual-wire) mode. In double-wide mode, the PDI•8 carries four mono channels of digital I/O by transmitting two consecutive 88.2/96k samples... - Page 9 “Hookups” (page 21).

The Clock I/O on the D8B prefers not to see an active signal at its Word Clock input when it powers up.

Monitor / Mouse / Keyboard (Optional) Most of the HDR24/96 editing features require a monitor, mouse and keyboard. Here’s how to install them: 1. Connect a color SVGA monitor to the HDR24/96 Video connector. The monitor should support a 1024x768 screen resolution at a 60 Hz vertical scan rate, and for the best picture, should have at least a 17"... -

Page 15: Configuration
Configuration Before starting a Project, you 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”... - Page 16 The input and output settings on the DIO•8 card need not be the same. For example, you can use outboard A/D converters with ADAT Optical outputs and a console with TDIF inputs without problems. Just remember to correctly set up Word Clock. HDR 24/96...
- Page 17 PDI•8 Card The PDI•8 card options include sample rate conversion for each stereo AES/EBU input, and status bit control (pro/consumer mode) for each output. When a PDI•8 card is first installed, its default settings are for sample rate conversion Off, and channel status bits set to indicate the Pro (AES/EBU) format.
