20. Configuring the HDSP 9632

20.1 Settings Dialog

Configuring the HDSP 9632 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 HDSP 9632, 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

• Level of analog I/Os

• Configuration of digital I/Os

• Synchronization behaviour

• State of input and output

• Current sample rate

• Latency

Any changes performed in

the Settings dialog are ap-

plied immediately - confir-

mation (e.g. by exiting the

dialog) is not required. How-

ever, 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 infor-

mation about the current

status of the system, and

the status of all digital sig-

nals. 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

Ref(erence) display shows the input and frequency of the current sync source.

SPDIF In

Defines the input for the SPDIF signal. 'Optical' relates to the optical TOSLINK input, 'Coaxial' to

the RCA socket, 'Internal' to the jumper CD/AEB/SYNC IN, 'AES' to the optional XLR cable.

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 25.2.

SPDIF Freq.

Displays the sample rate of the signal at the SPDIF input.
