OPTO in – controls the function of the optical input connector (H8000FW only)
The optical input connector on the rear panel is normally used for ADAT. It may
alternatively be used to send an optical S/P DIF input, called OPTO 1/2 in place of one
pair of AES11-18.
Doing this will disable both the ADAT input block (since there is nowhere to plug the
ADAT cable) and the AES signals for the chosen pair (since it is being used for OPTO
1/2).
Note also that this control supersedes the DIN 11/12 control, so that if OPTO in is set
to AES 11/12, DIN 11/12 has no function and will be disabled. This is because if
AES11/12 is being used for OPTO, it cannot be used for either AES or S/P DIF.
When OPTO in is set to ADAT, the optical input connector
is used for ADAT input, and AES inputs 11-18 are available.
OPTO 1/2 are, of course, not available.
When OPTO in is not set to ADAT, the optical input
connector is used for OPTO 1/2 (optical S/P DIF) input,
and the selected AES inputs are replaced by it and thus not
available.
All ADAT inputs are, of course, disabled.
