Copyright adds a copy-protection ID to the signal or filters it out when deactivating copy
protection. This function sets the so-called ?copy protection bit? which ensures that no digital
copies can be made of the signal.
Original activates the so-called ?generation bit?, permitting exactly one digital copy to be
made. Disabling this function sets the bit to 0?you can then copy to your heart's content.
Non-Audio adds information to the data stream that indicates that control information (such
as channel assignments) is being transferred in addition to the audio information. Activate
the Non-Audio mode when transferring AC3 or DTS audio signals from a software DVD player
to an external decoder.
Always right on time?digital synchronization.
When recording via the S/PDIF interface, ensure that the so-called sample frequency (clock) of
the card is synchronized with the source device. To guarantee the correct synchronization of
the devices, set the MasterClock in the ControlPanel to ?External?.
If you forget this step, audible errors such as dropouts and clicks may occur during
recording?and already when monitoring the signal. Naturally, you should also pay attention
to the settings of your periphery in the reverse situation (synchronizing an external device
with the DMX 6fire). In that case, set the ControlPanel to ?Internal?, as it also would be when
you are not using external digital devices. If the devices are to be permanently connected to
one another in both directions, you must decide which device will provide the clock signal.
The digital interfaces of the DMX 6fire support all bit resolutions between 8 and 24 bits, as
well as all sample rates between 8 and 96 kHz. Please note that not all devices can process
sample rates higher than 48 kHz. For example, if you would like to transfer a signal recorded
at 96 kHz to a MiniDisc player, you will need to convert the file(s) to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz first.
You can use the included WaveLab 2.0 Lite for this.
Dolby AC3 and DTS.
It is also possible to use the interfaces independently of the S/PDIF standard. Various
manufacturers of software DVD players support the playback of DVD audio material via the
DMX 6fire. Signals in Dolby AC3 or DTS format can therefore also be transferred using the
digital interfaces.
