Steinberg Nuendo DD8 Mode D'emploi page 17

The TDIF-1 connectors of the Nuendo DD 8 are fully compatible to all
devices with such an interface, for example DA-38 and DA-88. The con-
nection 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 Double Speed signal, this port car-
ries the channels 1 to 4.
TDIF AUX
Copy of the data at the MAIN interface. Carries the channels 5 to 8 in Bit
Split or Double Speed mode.
General tips for TDIF operation
TDIF and word clock
When the Nuendo DD 8 is slave, no additional word clock connection is
necessary. In case DA88 and/or DA38 are slave, the word clock output
of the Nuendo DD 8 has to be connected to the word clock input of the
first (master) recorder. When using more than one recorder, a special
sync cable (Tascam part number PW-88S) is needed.
Emphasis
The AES/EBU and TDIF interface of the Nuendo DD 8 support Emphasis.
Please note that an Emphasis indication will not be stored or processed
on the sound when doing digital transfers between AES/EBU or TDIF
and ADAT, because the ADAT standard does not include Emphasis.
6.6 Input ADAT/TDIF (Copy Mode)
By means of the SOURCE button, ADAT and TDIF are available as signal
sources in the left part as well. Thus the Nuendo DD 8 turns into a
unique ADAT to TDIF and TDIF to ADAT converter, a digital patch bay
and signal distributor. These two source formats are notified with a yel-
low LED, after all they are the main inputs for the right part, i. e. the
ADAT/TDIF to AES/EBU converter, for which they are still available as in-
puts. Please refer to the block diagram on page 29.
