M-Audio Delta DiO 2496 Инструкция по эксплуатации онлайн [12/24] 19020

The rightmost vertical column of Patchbay/Router page, "H/W Out S/PDIF," con-

nects the S/PDIF outputs of the DiO to one of four sources:

1. The default setting, "WavOut S/PDIF", connects the DiO’s S/PDIF outputs to

your music software or Windows multimedia applet. In other words, when music

software plays audio to the device named "Delta-DiO WavOut S/PDIF" it will be

routed directly to the S/PDIF outputs of your DiO board.

2. The second selection, "Monitor Mixer", connects the DiO’s S/PDIF outputs to

the output of the DiO hardware monitor mixer. This output mix can be any com-

bination of software "S/PDIF" and "analog" outputs plus the hardware S/PDIF

In. All of these signal paths have adjustable level, pan, solo, and mute controls

as set up in the Monitor Mixer page of the control panel software.

3. The third selection, "S/PDIF In", connects the S/PDIF input (the one currently

selected as the active S/PDIF input) to the S/PDIF outputs.

4. The final option, "S/PDIF In (L/R Rev.)", functions identically to the third selec-

tion, except that the left and right channels are swapped.

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 control panel software to

become proficient in routing and mixing. If somewhere in the process you become

confused, you may always restore the default settings to use the card as a straight 2-

in 4-out device.

Hardware Settings Page

The Hardware Settings page of the Delta Control Panel gives you control over mis-

cellaneous hardware and software features of the Delta DiO. To display this page,

click the "Hardware Settings" tab of the Delta Control Panel.

MASTER CLOCK: This section allows you to select the board’s master clock

source: Internal Xtal (crystal) or S/PDIF In. Master clock operation is outlined in

the Synchronization section of this manual. Be sure to select "S/PDIF In" if you will

be recording or monitoring an S/PDIF stream.

NOTE: If "S/PDIF In" is selected as the master clock source, be

sure to supply a valid S/PDIF signal to the board’s active S/PDIF

input. Otherwise, erratic timing and improper sample rates will be

experienced.

Once a master clock source has been selected, its synchronization status is continu-

ally monitored and displayed below the master clock radio buttons. If internal crys-

tal is selected, the status display will always say "Locked." On the other hand, if

S/PDIF In is selected as the master clock source, the control panel will display

"Locked" only when a valid S/PDIF signal is detected. It will display "Unlocked"

when there is no signal at the selected input, or when the signal is corrupt or has

become degraded for any reason.
