for the analog outputs to be compatible with that sound system’s
inputs (see section “Hardware Settings Page”).

3. Because you will be recording from the TDIF input, you will need to

set up the Delta TDIF to synchronize its master clock with the TDIF
input. To do this, open the Hardware Settings page of the control
panel software. Under Master Clock, select "TDIF Clk."

4. Next, you will need to tell your application software the expected

sample rate. We’ll use 48 kHz in this example. Therefore, on the
Hardware Settings page, set the "S/PDIF Sample Rate" to 48,000.

5. In order to monitor the digital signal coming into the TDIF, switch to

the Patchbay/Router page of the control panel software. In the "H/W
SP/ANA" column (the rightmost column), select the radio button
named "Monitor Mixer." This will allow us to bring up levels in the
monitor mixer for the TDIF inputs, solo and mute individual tracks
for quality assurance, possibly create a ruff mix for monitoring
purposes, and send that ruff mix to the analog outputs. Once this
assignment is made, click the “Monitor Mixer” tab. You may play the
Tascam multitrack material at any time and verify that its signal is
making it into the Delta TDIF successfully. This can be done regardless
of whether or not your recording software is open.
