Steinberg NUENDO 8 I/O 96k Handbuch Seite 23

ADAT AUX
Only necessary in COMBINE and DS mode. Interface for the second device sending a
Bit Split or Sample Split signal to the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k. Carries the channels 5 to 8.
The TDIF-1 connectors of the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k are fully compatible with all devices of-
fering such an interface, for example D/A-38 and D/A-88. A low jitter PLL ensures best
playback sound quality and reliable operation. Steinberg's exclusive SyncCheck 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 Bit Split our Double Speed signal, this port carries 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 Dou-
ble Speed mode.
General hints on TDIF operation
TDIF and word clock
When the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k is slave no additional word clock connection is necessary.
In case DA88 and/or DA38 are slave the word clock output of the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k 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 TDIF interface and the D/A-converters of the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k support Emphasis.
Please note that an Emphasis indication will not be stored or processed on the sound
when doing digital transfers between TDIF and ADAT, because the ADAT standard
does not include Emphasis.
