E-MU PIPEline - Manual (Page 7)

4 Analog and Digital Modes
Analog and Digital Modes
Your E-MU PIPEline™ can be configured to operate in either Analog or
Digital (S/PDIF 48 kHz) mode by setting the Mode DIP switches. Here are
some things to note when using digital mode:
• For a transmitter in digital mode, ensure that the E-MU PIPEline™ is receiving
a 48 kHz external S/PDIF digital stream. Similarly, for an E-MU PIPEline™
configured as a receiver in digital mode, ensure that the attached external
equipment is capable of receiving a coax S/PDIF 48 kHz digital stream.
• S/PDIF 48 kHz digital audio requires a specific 75-ohm coax digital RCA cable.
This cable can be connected to either one of the RCA jacks of the E-MU
PIPEline™.
• The E-MU PIPEline™ only supports the 48 kHz sample rate when in digital
mode.
• The E-MU PIPEline™ has no DTS or Dolby encoding or decoding capabilities,
but it does offer DTS pass-through.
• The E-MU PIPEline™ cannot input or output digital and analog signals
simultaneously. However, a transmitter-receiver pair can have different digital/
analog settings depending on their attached source or destination device.
