Digital Outputs
The Nuendo 8 I/O 96k provides two digital outputs, both in ADAT optical and TDIF-1 for-
mat. In normal operation only the MAIN outputs are used. When using more than the
first 4 channels with PROCESS BS or DS active, the AUX outputs also have to be used.
TDIF and ADAT optical outputs always operate simultaneously and carry the same au-
dio data. As long as PROCESS BS or DS isn't activated MAIN and AUX also operate si-
multaneously and carry the same audio data. With this it is possible to distribute the
output signal to two devices of the same format. When using all connectors the Nu-
endo 8 I/O 96k can feed up to 4 devices (2 x ADAT, 2 x TDIF).
The ADAT optical outputs of the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k are fully compatible to all ADAT op-
tical inputs. A usual TOSLINK cable is sufficient for connection.
ADAT Main
Interface for the first or only device receiving an ADAT signal from the Nuendo 8 I/O
96k. Carries the channels 1 to 8. When sending a Bit Split or Double Speed signal this
port carries the channels 1 to 4.
ADAT AUX
Copy of the data at the MAIN output. When sending a Bit Split or Double Speed signal,
this port carries the channels 5 to 8.
The TDIF-1 connectors of the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k are fully compatible to all devices with
such an interface, for example D/A-38 and D/A-88. The connection is done through a
special TDIF cable, available at your local dealer (Tascam part number PW-88D).
TDIF Main
Interface for the first or only device with a TDIF-1 interface. Carries the channels 1 to 8.
When transmitting a Bit Split or Double Speed signal, this port carries the channels 1 to 4.
TDIF AUX
Copy of the data at the MAIN interface. In BIT SPLIT mode: Carries the channels 5 to 8
in Bit Split or Double Speed mode.
