The rst of these two commands con gures the
for input and output. The second commands loads a special program into the

+ to handle transfers to and from the RD1x5T. Note that if you wish to return
to using the usually AES/EBU ports on the
these settings with the commands:

Transferring Data from the RD1x5T
Data can be transferred from the RD1x5T during either playback, recording, or
while the deck is in record-pause mode. Also, any of the RD1x5T's modes can be
used for transfer: 2, 4, or 8 channel at normal or double speed. In any of the cases,
the commands used on the host computer are identical. The complete data stream,
including all side information, can be stored in a le using the
described in Section 6. Note, however, that some of the
appropriate in this case. The options which may be useful are:
-f format:
To set the le format used to save the data.
-n nn:
To record 'nn' samples. Note however that the
that the data is stereo. For example, if 8 channel data is being transferred
and 1000 samples are requested, the le will be created with 1000 sample-pairs
which are really 250 8-channel samples.
-t seconds:
Record for the given number of seconds. In this case,
sumes that the RD1x5T will be running in normal speed mode. If double
speed is used, the le will only contain half the requested time. Stereo is also
assumed as for the
-u host:unit:
To record data from a
host.
For example, to transfer 30 seconds of 2 track data sampled at 48,000 samples/second
(normal speed) from a tape to the host computer in a le named
Position the tape appropriately.
