Digital Inputs - Steinberg NUENDO 8 I/O 96k Mode D'emploi

As with the analog inputs the analog output levels do not follow any single standard,
but are designed to maintain a problem-free operation with most other devices. The
headroom of the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k is defined according to the chosen reference level.
Reference
Hi Gain
+4 dBu
-10 dBV
At +4 dBu a headroom of 9 dB offers a problem-free operation with most devices and
most standards. At -10 dBV 12 to 15 dB headroom are common practise, each mixing
desk operating at -10 dBV is able to send and receive much higher levels. Hi Gain re-
sults in maximum level for professional users who prefer to work balanced and at
highest levels.

Digital Inputs

The Nuendo 8 I/O 96k provides two digital inputs, both in ADAT optical and TDIF-1
format. In normal operation only the MAIN inputs are used. When using more than the
first 4 channels with COMBINE BS (Bit Split) or DS (Double Speed) active, the AUX in-
puts also have to be used.
The key DIGITAL INPUT sets the desired input active.
The ADAT optical inputs of the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k are fully compatible with all ADAT
optical outputs. Steinberg's unsurpassed Bitclock PLL prevents clicks and drop outs
even in extreme vari pitch operation, and guarantees a fast and low jitter lock to the
digital input signal. A usual TOSLINK cable is sufficient for connection.
ADAT Main
Interface for the first or only device sending an ADAT signal to the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k.
Carries the channels 1 to 8. When receiving a Bit Split or Double Speed signal this in-
put carries the channels 1 to 4.
