Digital Outputs

The Deva comes with an AES digital output cable. This cable connects to the left side of the Deva using

DB-15 connector. There are eight digital outputs available using this connector.

The AES cable fans out to four separate XLR style outputs. Each output is a stereo pair (Output 1,2;

Output 3, 4; Output 5,6; Output 7,8). You can use any combination of these outputs with your Deva. The

output channel number is written on each cable. You can assign these outputs to any channel or

combinations of channels.

The Camera Output connector is located on the right side of the Deva. It is a 10-pin Hirose connector.

Only output channels 5 and 6 can be used through this connector. These channels are summed into a mono

feed.

Hint:

Because the audio output of this connector is summed, you cannot use this output to feed audio and time-

code to a camera using separate channels. To do this, use the analog output for the timecode channel.

Break out cables are available from retailers, and pinout diagrams for the connector are available in this

manual if you want to make your own cable.

A return input from the camera headphone output is available using the camera connector. When used, the

audio from the camera can be monitored using the Deva.

The flexibility of the Deva is highlighted in the way it handles the routing. Routing on the Deva allows you

to assign any combination of inputs to any combination of channels and outputs. This section describes

how to assign both inputs and outputs.

Input Options: Analog Input, Digital Input, Pre-fader, Post-fader, Phase Inverted

A single digital or analog input can be assigned to any number of recording tracks, including sharing the

same recording channel, using the Disk Channel Mix matrix.
