M-AUDIO Delta 410 - Manual (Page 21)

4. Option four connects the hardware analog inputs 1 & 2 directly to the
1010’s hardware analog outputs 3 & 4. In other words, if "H/W In
1/2" were selected, any signal present at the IN1 RCA jack will be
copied to OUT3, and any signal present at the IN2 RCA jack will be
copied to OUT4.
The rightmost vertical column of Patchbay/Router page, "H/W Out S/PDIF,"
connects the Delta 410’s hardware S/PDIF outputs to one of five sources:
1. The default setting, "WavOut S/PDIF", connects the S/PDIF Out port
to your music software or Windows multimedia applet. In other
words, when music software plays audio to the device named
"WavOut S/PDIF Delta-410" it will be routed directly to the hardware
S/PDIF output on your Delta 410 PCI host card.
2. The second option, "Monitor Mixer", connects the S/PDIF Out port to
the outputs of the Delta 410 monitor mixer. For more information on
the capabilities of the monitor mixer, please see the section "Monitor
Mixer Page".
3. The third option, "S/PDIF In", connects the S/PDIF Out port directly
to the hardware S/PDIF input on the Delta 410 PCI host card. The left
channel of the S/PDIF In is routed to the left channel of S/PDIF Out
and the right channel of the S/PDIF In is routed to the right channel
of S/PDIF Out.
4. The fourth option, "S/PDIF In (L/R Rev.)", functions identically to the
third option, except that the left and right channels are swapped.
Therefore in this mode, the left channel of the S/PDIF In is routed to
the right channel of S/PDIF Out and the right channel of the S/PDIF
In is routed to the left channel of S/PDIF Out.
5. Selection five connects the hardware analog inputs 1 & 2 directly to
the 410’s S/PDIF Out port. In other words, if "H/W In 1/2" were
selected, any signal present at the IN1 RCA jack will be sent to the left
channel of the S/PDIF Out, and any signal present at the IN2 RCA
jack will be sent to the right channel of the S/PDIF Out.
At this point, you may begin to realize the versatility of the Monitor Mixer and
the Patchbay/Router, and the relationship between the two. You may want to
re-read this section and make some practice adjustments within the Delta Control
Panel software to become proficient in routing and mixing, as well as check out
the Tutorials section toward the end of this manual. If somewhere in the process
you become confused, you may always restore the default settings to use the card
as a straight 4-in 10-out device -- just choose the topmost option in each of the
Patchbay/Router columns.
