Specifications

system sampling rate, from wherever it is derived, or sample rate conversion must be

enabled.

 The digital outputs are at the system sampling rate, and all analog to digital and

digital to analog conversion is done at the system sampling rate.

S/P DIF

The digital inputs 1/2 are received at either the

AES/EBU 1/2 input jack or the S/P DIF 1/2

input jack. To select between the two, use the

DIN 1/2 parameter on the "bottom" inputs

menu page in the SETUP area.

The digital outputs 1/2 are sent out at both the

AES/EBU 1/2 output jack and the S/P DIF

1/2 output jack. To select between the two

formats, use the DOUT 1/2 parameter on the

"bottom" format menu page in the SETUP area. To be clear, signals will be present at

both the AES/EBU 1/2 output and the S/P DIF 1/2 output, but they can only be one

format. S/P DIF selects a "consumer" format while AES/EBU selects a "professional"

format. Use the AES/EBU format unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise.

Note: The digital inputs 1/2 need not be assigned to the same protocol as the digital outputs 1/2. In other

words, digital inputs 1/2 can be received at the AES/EBU 1/2 input jack and digital outputs 1/2 can be sent

via the S/P DIF protocol, or vice-versa.

Similarly, on the H8000FW, S/P DIF inputs 3/4 can be used in place of AES 11/12. Their protocols are fixed.

See DIN 11/12 allows the choice of either AES/EBU or S/P DIF for AES11/12. on page 61.

SAMPLING RATES

The H8000FW can operate over a range of sampling rates, from 32kHz to 100kHz. Because the

higher sampling rates demand more of the signal processing resources, some large presets will not

operate at the higher rates. These are identified by the absence of the "

" symbol.

If one (or two) of these large presets is loaded,

the H8000FW will not allow Int 88.2 or Int

96kHz

to be selected and will not lock to any

digital source above 50kHz. It may be necessary

to unload both A and B presets before a higher sampling rate can be selected.

Similarly, if one of these higher clock rates is selected, or the system is locked to a digital

source above 50kHz, the H8000FW will not allow these larger programs to be loaded.
