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

Mia 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.

Mia’s S/PDIF output defaults to the

Professional

format. If you are

recording from Mia 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 Mia driver that allows you to

select which format Mia 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
