The digital interfaces of the DMX 6fire.
*
Devices that send or receive the S/PDIF protocol can be connected to the optical and coaxial
digital interfaces of the DMX 6fire. These include DAT and MiniDisc recorders, for example.
The interface supports the bit-true transfer of digital signals in all relevant resolutions. In
addition, it supports raw data streams such as those used by Dolby's AC3.
Connections and ControlPanel settings.
Use the digital interface of your DMX 6fire to transfer music digitally from your computer to
other devices, or to record audio data with your PC. For recording and playback, one socket
each is available for connection fiber optic cables and in connection with DMX 6fire 24/96
also via coaxial cable. As a rule, the devices to be connected will have one input and output
socket (IN and OUT) each. Optical OUT sockets can be identified?in addition to the label?by
the red light visible inside them. Simply connect the S/PDIF input of the DMX 6fire with the
S/PDIF output of the desired device?and vice versa, if required.
The initial level of a signal being sent to the card from an external device can be set in the
ControlPanel using the ?Digital In? control. Please note: this control has no effect on the
signal strength (input sensitivity) of a recording. A digital level is always as it was originally
recorded. To change the volume of such a recording, use a program such as WaveLab 2.0 Lite.
The Settings page of the DMX ControlPanel lets you choose from a variety of sources for
digital audio output. The following source settings are available in the ?Digital Out? field:
At the click of the mouse: signal sources and S/PDIF filters.
MIX delivers the same signal via S/PDIF which is also present at the front output.
Wave Playback delivers the signal output of an application directly to the digital output.
Digital In sends the signal applied to the digital input directly to the digital output.
In addition, the following parameters can be selected in all three positions:
