5.5.2 DO AES Channel Status menu

DO1 AES:Pro

Pro Consumer

The DO AES Channel Status menu is a Single Selection menu. The user may choose the

format of the Chanel Status information embedded in the AES3 or S/PDIF carrier. Two

options are available, 'Pro' (professional) and 'Consumer'. The precise implementation of

each mode is described in section 5.12.

DI1 Sync I/P: A

C1 C2 C3 C4 Auto

Each AES3 I/O Module fitted to the ADA-8XR enables a DI Sync Input menu in the Module

Dependent Preferences section of the Menu System. These Single Selection menus control

which AES3 input carrier will be the Sync Source when a Path sourced from that module is

set to sync from that 'DI' slot. Options are 'C1', 'C2', 'C3', 'C4' and 'Auto'. 'C1-4' select one of

the four input carriers - fixing the Sync Source to that AES3 carrier. 'Auto' allows the

ADA-8XR to choose any locked carrier input as described in the section 5.8.

Cascade S96 IO:N

No Yes

If two AES3 I/O Modules are fitted to the ADA-8XR, the Cascade Split96 menu is made

available in the Module Dependent Preferences section of the Menu System. This is a Single

Selection menu that enables or disables Cascade Split96 mode as described in section 5.9.

The default selection is 'No', i.e. Cascade Split96 mode is disabled.

Several of the Factory Default Stores depend on the fitment of a suitable 'general purpose'

(i.e. non-workstation) digital I/O module for correct operation (as described in the Firmware

Reference). If no such digital I/O module is available, loading these Stores results in any

available input or output module being assigned to the affected Path, or no module at all

being assigned if there is none available.

The AES3 I/O Module can act as a Sync Source for either Path of the ADA-8XR (provided

that at least one valid AES3 or S/PDIF carrier is connected to the module inputs). The user

may select DI1 or DI2 in the Sync Source menu to synchronize that Path to the designated

input of that I/O module. For correct operation, all the inputs to each AES3 I/O Module must

be synchronous - that is, they must themselves share the same Sync Source and be at the

same sample rate.
