Hookup

1.  Connect the three TDIF cables between the corresponding TDIF jacks on

the MDR24/96 and D8B.

2.  When TDIF is used, the D8B must have a Clock I/O card installed. To

make the D8B the clock master, connect its Word Clock Out (not DIO•8

Sync out) to the MDR24/96 Word Clock In. To make the MDR24/96 the

clock master, connect its Word Clock Out to the D8B Word Clock In.

See Figure 1.

MDR24/96 Settings

1.  Set the Tape Input format for each DIO•8 card to TDIF, and the Tape

Output format to TDIF.

2.  If the MDR24/96 is the clock master, set the Sample Clock to Internal;

if it is a clock slave, set it to Word Clock and depress the 75 

Ω

termination switch on the Sync card.

3.  Set the Sample Rate to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz according to your

preference.

Console Settings

1.  Set the Tape Input and Tape Output format for each DIO•8 card to TDIF.

2.  If the D8B is the clock master, set the Sample Clock to either 44.1 k

Internal 

or 48 k Internal; if it is a clock slave, set the Sample Clock to

either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. Set the Sample Rate to match the Sample

Rate

 selected on the MDR24/96.
