Connecting to the H8000FW’s outputs

Different versions of the H8000FW support a wide range of possible outputs, as

described in the chart below. Be aware that, as described above, the external outputs must

be fed from the

MAIN Outputs

block.

The available outputs are:

Analog AES/EBU ADAT FireWire

H8000 2 channels 8 channels 8 channels

H8000A 4 channels 4 channels 8 channels

H8000FW 4 channels 12 channels 8 channels 16 channels

CONFIGURING THE OUTPUTS

The

MAIN Outputs

block is used as a “binding post” to select the outputs that are to

be fed from DSP A or DSP B. Each unit in the H8000FW series has a number of default

outputs, which are always connected to the corresponding output of the

MAIN Outputs

block as shown below:

MAIN

Outputs

channel

H8000 output

H8000A output

H8000FW output

1 AES/EBU 1 and SPDIF 1 Analog 1 Analog 1

2 AES/EBU 2 and SPDIF 2 Analog 2 Analog 2

3 AES/EBU 3 Analog 3 Analog 3

4 AES/EBU 4 Analog 4 Analog 4

5 AES/EBU 5 AES/EBU 1 and SPDIF 1 AES/EBU 1 and SPDIF 1

6 AES/EBU 6 AES/EBU 2 and SPDIF 2 AES/EBU 2 and SPDIF 2

7 AES/EBU 7 and Analog 1 AES/EBU 3 AES/EBU 3

8 AES/EBU 8 and Analog 2 AES/EBU 4 AES/EBU 4

The remaining (non-default) outputs may be connected to any of the MAIN Outputs

channels, or to any of the non-default external inputs, with the exception that FireWire

outputs may not be directly connected to FireWire inputs. The H8000FW example below

shows that ADAT out 1 may be connected to any MAIN Outputs channel, or any

ADAT

channel. The permanently connected default outputs are also shown.

The outputs are configured using the outputs menu under the SETUP key. There is one

page for each output block, including the

MAIN Outputs

described earlier.

Here is an example of a mixture of signals feeding the

ADAT outputs. The other blocks are shown below as

unconnected in the interest of clarity.
