Digital I/O - Selecting the S/PDIF Output Format

Your Echo hardware can transmit digital information in either of two formats,

“professional” or “consumer.” The primary difference between the two is in the

implementation of the SCMS copy protection bit, which, in the Consumer format,

prevents the user from making digital copies of a digital copy.

The S/PDIF output defaults to the Professional format. If you are recording from

your Echo hardware into a consumer DAT deck, the deck may not be able to

recognize the signal until you switch Mia’s output to Consumer.

We have provided a software switch in the driver that allows you to select which

format the Echo hardware transmits. In the window that appears you’ll see a pair

of check boxes in an area labeled S/PDIF Out Format: one box is labeled

Consumer and the other Professional. Select the appropriate format for your

DAT (if you don’t know which one to use and are having difficulties, simply try

the one that is not currently checked). No Echo hardware transmits the SCMS bit,

regardless of which format is selected.
