drop-down list.
4. Set digital output properties. (optional)
[Skip to "Input Setup" on page 2-24 if you will not be using OPTIMOD-PC's
WAVE output or AES3 digital output.]
There are several properties you can set to match OPTIMOD-PC's AES3 digital
outputs to your requirements.
A) Set the AES3 Digital Output sample rate.
[32], [44.1], [48 kHz], [88.2 kHz] or [96 kHz]
48 kHz or 96 kHz are preferred because their samples are synchronous
with the peak-controlled samples in the processing.
Selecting a 32 kHz output sample rate will automatically set the highest
available audio bandwidth to 15 kHz.
B) Set the Digital Output Sync mode to internal or external.
[Internal], [Digital 1 Input], or [Digital 2 Input]
OPTIMOD-PC's AES3 output has a hardware sample rate converter that
allows the output sample rate to be synchronized to a source.

can use either the D
The same input can also supply audio. If a given input is used only as a sync
source, it is wise to check the M
and Direct Mixer.
If a valid AES3 signal is present at the designated sync input, it will be
used for synchronization. If lock is unavailable, OPTIMOD-PC automati-
cally switches to I
sync after one second of continuously valid AES3 signal lock at a valid
sample rate. Furthermore, external lock is only permitted when the out-
put rate matches the sync (or AES3 input) rate.
C) Set the desired output word length.
[14 bits], [16bits], [18bits], [20bits], and [24bits]
The largest valid word length in OPTIMOD-PC is 24 bits. OPTIMOD-PC can
also truncate its output word length to 20, 18, 16, or 14 bits. If the input
material is insufficiently dithered for these lower word lengths,
OPTIMOD-PC can add dither (see the next step), which is wise if the input
material is insufficiently dithered for these lower word lengths.
D) Adjust DITHER to on or off, as desired.

sync setting synchronizes the output words at the AES3 out-
setting synchronizes the output rate to the input rate. You
