Functions

The DSP24 ADAT card from ST Audio is easy to install and contains everything

you need to form a powerful 8 channel digital audio link between any of your

ADAT compatible digital equipment, and your Windows PC. Simply insert the ST

Audio DSP24 ADAT card into an available PCI slot, and connect it with optical

cables to your ADAT compatible device. The available analog outputs allow you to

monitor signals directly from the card without a separate DAC unit.

Digital editing with the DSP24 ADAT card from ST Audio makes many jobs in the

studio effortless. For example, using the card with a linear digital tape recorder you

can send audio at up to 24-bit resolution into your computer, graphically edit your

tracks in your favorite software application, before sending them back to tape for

mixdown, archiving etc. Another great application is using your digital mixer as the

AD/DA audio interface for all famous computer recording software applications.

IV. Hardware installation

Make sure the computer is switched off and unplugged. Remove the external

computer cover. Insert the ST Audio DSP24 ADAT PCI-card into a free PCI slot

making sure that it is pressed firmly into position and secure it to the computer

case. Avoid using the first PCI slot (next to AGP) due to IRQ conflicts that can

arrise with AGP graphics cards.

You can use an analog cable to / from the CD-ROM drive if you want to listen to

audio CDs via the analog monitoring output of the card.

Now install the computer cover again, and connect the included breakout cable to

the 15pin D-SUB connector on the bracket of the PCI-card.

Using the ADAT I/O ports

The next step is to connect your ADAT device(s) to the optical I/O connectors on

the DSP24 ADAT card. We strongly recommend the use of only high quality

optical leads to connect ADAT devices. Connect the ADAT output of the card with

the ADAT input of your external ADAT compatible device. Connect the ADAT

input of the card with the ADAT output of your external device. The DSP24 ADAT

connects to any other device using the optical ADAT format.

Using the WordClock in-/output

When used in a professional studio envrionment that is using WordClock

synchronisation, the DSP24 ADAT can send out WordClock sync signals and also

use/recieve the clock from other WordClock devices.

To use the WordClock output, connect the corresponding cable to the WordClock

output BNC connector. It will always send out the sample rate that is selected by

the software using the DSP24 ADAT.

In order to sync the card to other WordClock devices, you need

to configure the DSP24 ADAT by changing a jumper on the

hardware itself.

The picture on the right side shows the jumper block in it's

default and recommended setup. All jumpers on HD5 to HD2

are set to OFF.

If you are not using the WordClock input, do not change these ON OFF

settings!

The settings shown on the left side enable the WordClock

input. The HD5 jumper is now set to ON. The other jumpers

(HD4, HD3 and HD2) are untouched.

To sync the DSP24 ADAT card to an external WordClock

source, External Links must be set to ADAT synchronisation.

Check the CLOCK SOURCE SLECTION section in the EXTERNAL

LINKS chapter later in this documentation.
