Digital I/O Card—AES/EBU
(CD8-AE/CD8-AE-S)
The AES/EBU digital I/O cards (CD8-AE/CD8-AE-S) are used to connect
AES/EBU compatible multitrack digital recorders or other similar digital
devices to the 02R.
Installing the CD8-AE/CD8-AE-S
The CD8-AE card is a double slot card (see “Double Slot Cards” on page
222). The CD8-AE-S card is a single slot card (see “Single Slot Cards” on
page 221).
1. Connect the AES/EBU compatible multitrack digital recorder to
the 02R using the appropriate connectors.
Use high quality 110Ω digital connecting cables to connect to the
CD8-AE card. Use 25-pin D-SUB cables that are suitable for digital
audio use to connect to the CD8-AE-S card.
2. If your AES/EBU compatible multitrack digital recorder has a
dedicated wordclock output connector, connect it to the WORD
CLOCK—IN connector on the back of the 02R and turn the 75Ω
terminator switch on.
If there is no dedicated wordclock output, you can obtain the
wordclock signal required from one of the digital interconnect lines.
Note: A dedicated wordclock connection will give you the best wordclock
synchronization results.
