Digital Format and Rate Converter
The Nuendo DD 8 converter is a compact 1U 19˝ rack-mounting device featuring digital interfaces in the following formats:
AES/EBU,ADAT, TDIF. With its 8 channels of AES/EBU input and output it serves as a perfect AES/EBU front end for
Nuendo users.The DD8 can also be employed as a digital patchbay for splitting digital signals and as a sample rate/digital
format converter. Because it offers several combinations of the basic functionalities it can be a real lifesaver in studio envi-
ronments, where many problems related to digital signals have to be solved every day.
◆ Switchable 24-bit sample rate converters
(SRC) allow for both highest quality sam-
ple rate conversion and clock unlinking of
all AES/EBU inputs.
◆ All of the Nuendo DD8’s digital I/Os sup-
port 96kHz/24-bit. As ADAT optical and
TDIF are usually restricted to 48kHz,the
unique DS mode (double speed) allows
two channels to be used for the transmis-
sion of one channel’s data. The algorithm
used is compatible to S/MUX and Double
Wide,and is implemented in the Nuendo
96/52 DSP audio card. (Makes the Nuendo
DD8 ideal when Nuendo 96/52 DSP own-
ers need real time AES digital conversion).
◆ The Nuendo DD8 is a reference quality 8
channel format converter featuring excep-
tional features like Intelligent Clock
Control (ICC), SyncCheck, SyncAlign,
Bitclock PLL, digital patchbay functions,
and active jitter reduction through SD-PLL
and 96kHz/24bit sample rate conversion.
◆ AES/EBU to ADAT/TDIF and ADAT/TDIF
to AES/EBU work both entirely independ-
ently and intelligently coupled.
◆ Dedicated LEDs display the state of the
incoming and outgoing signals and all
operations running inside the device.
◆ 8 channel AES/EBU (4 x stereo, XLR) to
ADAT optical/TDIF-1 converter
◆ Sample rate conversion 96 kHz/24 bit
switchable for the AES/EBU inputs
◆ 8 channel ADAT optical/TDIF to AES/EBU
(4 x stereo, XLR) converter
◆ ADAT optical inputs, 24 bit,using bitclock
PLL for sample accurate lock
◆ Clock unlinking (re-synch) by SRC
◆ ADAT optical outputs, 24 bit, fully compati-
ble with all devices using this interface
◆ TDIF-1 interface,24 bit, low jitter PLL,
Emphasis support, DA-38, DA-88,DA-98
compatible
◆ Copy Mode for copying data to an output
of the same format (ADAT to ADAT) etc.)
◆ Active jitter reduction by Serial Double PLL
and SRC
◆ Digital patchbay for copying, duplicating
and distributing the digital input signals
❖ SyncCheck,unequalled technology for
checking clock synchronicity
◆ S/PDIF mode switchable for the second
ADAT optical output
New! ID — Remote Control for Nuendo
Designed and handcrafted by a
team of audio professionals to
meet the demand for total control
of Nuendo with a familiar
“console”-like feeling and much
more, Steinberg’s ID (Input
Device) is far more than another
generic controller device. ID
consists of 4 logical sections
dedicated to various aspects of recording, editing, mixing and control room monitoring:
◆ Fader-section offers 24-channels for direct
access.LCDs show track names and status of
channel parameters: solo, cut, track- arming,
direct channel-strip access and automation-
status. 24 touch sensitive motorized faders
and encoders control levels.
◆ Encoder-section features a complete chan-
nel strip layout with 24 endless encoders,
24 two line displays and 24 level indicators
for direct access to any channel parameter.
◆ Controlling VST Plug-ins is supported by 24
endless encoders in conjunction with 48
lines of display and 12 additional Favorite-
User-Function encoders with displays.
◆ Edit-Section’s integrated Matrix ASCII
keyboard and the trackball allow computer
and software operation without mouse and
keyboard. Also has switches and status
displays for nearly every important edit
function.
