MME
Check Input verifies the current input signal against the settings in the record program. When
de-activated a recording will always be allowed, even with non-valid input signals. This setting
is valid for MME only.
TMS activates the transmission of Channel Status data and Track Marker information of the
SPDIF input.
Buffer Size
The setting Buffer Size determines the latency between incoming and outgoing ASIO and GSIF
data, as well as affecting system stability (see chapter 13). Under Windows MME this setting
determines the DMA buffer size (see chapter 8.4).
SyncCheck
‘SyncCheck’ indicates for ADAT, ADAT Sync, SPDIF and word clock input whether there is a
valid signal (‘Lock’ or ‘No Lock’), or a valid and synchronous signal (‘Sync’). The ‘AutoSync Ref’
display shows the input and frequency of the current sync source.
SPDIF In
Defines the input for the SPDIF
signal. 'Coaxial' relates to the phono
socket, 'ADAT' to the optical
TOSLINK input.
SPDIF Out
The SPDIF output signal is
constantly available at the phono
plug. After selecting 'ADAT' it is
also routed to the optical output
ADAT. For further details about the
settings ‘Professional’, ‘Emphasis’
and ‘Non-Audio’, please refer to
chapter 12.
Clock Mode
The card can be configured to use
its internal clock (Master), or the
clock source pre-defined via Pref.
Sync Ref (AutoSync).
Pref. Sync Ref
Used to pre-select the desired clock
source. If the selected source isn't
available the card will change to the next available one. The currently used clock source and
sample rate is displayed in the AutoSyncRef display.
The automatic clock selection checks and changes between the clock sources ADAT optical,
SPDIF, word clock and ADAT Sync. The latter is recommended especially for sample-accurate
transfers under ASIO 2.0.
System Clock
Shows the current clock state of the HDSP system. The system is either Master (using its own
clock) or Slave (AutoSync Ref).
Hardware State
This display shows the current state of the I/O-box:
I/O Box error: I/O-box not connected or missing power
I/O Box detected: The interface has found a I/O-box and tries to load the firmware
I/O Box locked: Communication between interface and I/O-box ok
