16. Configuring the Multiface II
16.1 Settings Dialog
Configuring the Multiface II is done via its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can be
opened by clicking on the hammer icon in the dock. The mixer of the Hammerfall DSP System,
TotalMix, can be opened by clicking on the mixer icon in the dock.
The Hammerfall DSP’s hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions
and options which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different
requirements. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:
• Input
selection
• Output
mode
• Output channel status
• Synchronization
behaviour
• Input and output status display
Any changes performed in
the Settings dialog are
applied immediately -
confirmation (e.g. by exiting
the dialog) is not required.
However, settings should
not be changed during
playback or record if it can
be avoided, as this can
cause unwanted noises.
The status displays at the
bottom of the dialog box
give the user precise
information about the
current status of the
system, and the status of all
digital signals. SyncCheck
indicates whether there is a
valid signal (Lock, No Lock)
for each input (Word Clock, ADAT, SPDIF), or if there is a valid and synchronous signal (Sync).
The AutoSync Reference display shows the input and frequency of the current sync source.
SPDIF In
Defines the input for the SPDIF signal. 'Coaxial' relates to the RCA socket, 'Optical' to the opti-
cal TOSLINK input.
SPDIF Out
The SPDIF output signal is constantly available at the phono plug. After selecting 'Optical' it is
also routed to the optical TOSLINK output. For further details about the settings ‘Professional’,
‘Emphasis’ and ‘Non-Audio’, please refer to chapter 23.2.
SPDIF Freq.
Displays the sample rate of the signal at the SPDIF input.
