If the input data is encoded with Sample Split, S/MUX or Double Line,
the AES output has to be set to DS mode manually. Every input con-
tains the information of only 4 channels, for full 8 channels MAIN and
AUX have to be used. 16 input channels 44.1/48 kHz are being con-
verted to 8 output channels 88.2/96 kHz. The channels are being dis-
tributed in the following manner:
ADAT/TDIF
1/2
3/4
5/6
7/8

The ADAT optical inputs of the Nuendo DD 8 are fully compatible with
all ADAT optical outputs. Steinberg's unsurpassed Bitclock PLL pre-
vents clicks and drop outs even in extreme varipitch 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 Nu-
endo DD 8. Carries the channels 1 to 8. When receiving a Double Speed
signal, this input carries the channels 1 to 4.
ADAT AUX
Interface for the second device sending a Double Speed signal to the
Nuendo DD 8. Carries the channels 5 to 8. Receives channels 9-16 in
Copy Mode.
The TDIF-1 connectors of the Nuendo DD 8 are fully compatible with all
devices offering such an interface, for example DA-38 and DA-88. A SD-
PLL ensures best playback sound quality and reliable operation. Sync-
Check verifies synchronous operation when using both TDIF ports. 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 Double Speed signal, this port car-
ries the channels 1 to 4.
