TDIF
Expansion Board for the Hammerfall® Series,
HDSP 9652 and DIGI96® Series |
|
24 Bit / 96 kHz
TDIF Interface! |
 |
The TEB (TDIF
Expansion Board) adds an 8-channel TDIF interface to all
ADAT-capable RME cards (see below). Special features include
manual choice of clock reference, status LEDs and a word
clock output.
The TEB is designed for maximum flexibility. Used
with the Hammerfall series and the HDSP 9652, it can even be
used at sample rates of 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz. Meeting the
TDIF specification, Double Line mode uses two
channels in single speed to get one channel in double speed.
Therefore at 88.2/96 kHz 4 channels are available.
Installation is done in a convenient manner using the
supplied bracket. No PCI slot on the motherboard is needed.
The integrated Clock Select Switch sets the TDIF reference
clock, thus avoids any clocking problems even with
'problematic' TDIF devices. |

Using the Expansion Boards is very easy to do, thanks
to the clearly structured and informative Settings dialog of
RME's cards. The TEB operates like any other converter with
ADAT input and output, but is connected internally.
Therefore the input selector has to be set to 'Internal'.
The TEB gets its clock either from the card or the
external TDIF device. This is selected via the switch at the
slot bracket.
The Input Status displays the selected input (Internal), the
current sample rate (44.1/48) and format (Adat.)
The ADAT output of all cards operate in parallel to this
TDIF output. When Hammerfall or HDSP 9652 are operated in
Double Speed mode, the TEB automatically converts the audio
data to Double Line mode. |

Two TEBs can be
connected and operated simultaneously. One TEB can be
used together with either one AEBx-I or AEBx-O. |
|
DIGI96
SERIES |
TEBs use the
internal ADAT interface of the DIGI cards. Therefore
they do not work with the DIGI96 (which did not support
ADAT).
One TEB can be connected and operated. |
|
HAMMERFALL
DSP MULTIFACE / DIGIFACE |
|
Multiface and
Digiface use the Hammerfall DSP PCI card. This card has
no internal inputs or outputs. Therefore no Expansion
Boards can be used. |
|
HAMMERFALL
SERIES |
An operation with the Hammerfall or Hammerfall Light
requires board revision 1.5 or higher, because the
internal connector ADAT1Out was not implemented in
earlier versions.
One TEB can be connected and operated. Additionally one
AEBx-O can be used simultaneously. |
