Module options – Digital inputs and outputs
DIGITAL INPUT part M-DIGIN-A
This module provides 8 digital inputs arranged as
four pairs. Each offers a choice of digital format -
AES, SPDIF or optical (TOSLINK). For each pair,
one format is chosen and used at a time. The
selection is made using the iLive Surface or PC
application channel SEL function. One of 3 yellow
LED indicators lights to show which input format is
selected.
Blanking plugs are provided for unused optical
sockets to prevent interference and dust
contamination.
CHK Yellow indicator follows the PAFL function. It
lights when one or both channels of the input are
associated with the channel currently being PAFL’d
at the surface or PC. This provides a quick way to
identify which sockets are mapped to the channels,
for example when you want to quickly find which
sockets to plug your digital playback device into.
Note: CHK will light whether the input is the main
channel source, insert return or mix external input for
the channel or mix being PAFL’d. For example, three
may be lit if you PAFL a stereo input channel which
has an insert assigned.
DIGITAL OUTPUT part M-DIGOUT-A
Provides 8 digital outputs arranged as four pairs.
Each offers 3 digital output formats – AES, SPDIF
and optical (TOSLINK). All three formats are
available at the same time. For example, you could
record the same material via SPDIF and also AES to
two different recording devices at the same time.
Blanking plugs are provided to prevent dust
contamination and light spill from unused optical
sockets.
CHK Yellow indicator follows the PAFL function. It
lights when one or both channels of the output are
associated with the channel currently being PAFL’d
at the surface or PC. This provides a quick way to
identify which sockets are mapped to the channels,
for example when you want to quickly find which
sockets to feed your digital recording device.
Note: CHK will light whether the socket is the main
mix output or an insert send. For example, three
may be lit if you PAFL a stereo mix which has an
insert assigned.
MUTE A red LED lights when an output is muted.
