The inputs can be used in any combination, e. g. it is sufficient to con-
nect an input signal only to input 3. In slave mode, this input is auto-
matically being used as clock source. If more than one signal is present,
the one furthest left is being used as clock source, i. e. the active input
with the lowest number.
The inputs are being copied to the 8 channel ADAT/TDIF formats in log-
ical order:
AES/EBU Input
1
2
3
4
ADAT/TDIF MAIN+AUX
1/2
3/4
5/6
7/8
If an input sample rate higher than 56 kHz is detected at the AES/EBU
input, the DS LED lights up and the left part automatically switches to
DS mode, using the following channel distribution:
AES/EBU
1L
1R
2L
2R
3L
3R
4L
4R
ADAT/
1/2
3/4
5/6
7/8
1/2
3/4
5/6
7/8
TDIF

If a signal in Double Wire format is present at the input, technically no
special processing is activated. There is no need for processing, be-
cause the output signals will be in Sample Split format (S/MUX, Double
Line) right away.
6.3 Input State Display
The input state is displayed with 16 LEDs. Every input has its own LOCK
LED. However a missing or invalid input signal is indicated by slow
flashing of the SOURCE LED. As soon as a valid input signal is present
the four LOCK LEDs will react per input. If ADAT or TDIF are chosen as
input source (Copy Mode), all four LOCK and Emphasis LEDs show the
same information. In DS mode, both two and two LEDs show the state
of the MAIN (1/2) and the AUX (3/4) inputs.
