Steinberg Nuendo DD8 Mode D'emploi page 39

As the transmission of double rate signals is done at standard sample
rate (Single Speed) the word clock output still delivers 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
❐
The wordclock output as well as all ADAT and TDIF ports always operates
in Single Speed mode only. At 96 kHz, the word clock output will therefore
be a 48 kHz signal.
The TDIF interface of the Nuendo DD 8 also supports the 'Double Wire'
technique. This allows a recording with up to 96 kHz at halfed track
numbers with every (!) DTRS device.
Note: The ideal combination is an Nuendo DD 8 together with the dig-
ital I/O card Nuendo 96/52). This card has Sample Split implemented in
hardware. This combination offers 4 AES/EBU I/Os, with 2 channels 24
bit/96 kHz each, using PC or Mac.
11.2 AES/EBU - SPDIF
The most important electrical properties of 'AES' and 'SPDIF' can be
seen in the below table. AES/EBU is the professional balanced connec-
tion using XLR plugs. The standard is being set by the Audio Engineering
Society based on the AES3-1992. For the 'home user', SONY and Philips
have omitted the balanced connection and use either Phono plugs or
optical cables (TOSLINK). The format called S/P-DIF (SONY/Philips Dig-
ital Interface) is described by IEC 60958.
