M-AUDIO DELTA 1010-AI - Manual (Page 9)

Analog Ins to ADAT: When “Analog Ins to ADAT” mode is enabled, the
analog inputs 1 through 8 on your Delta 1010 rack mount unit are routed
through the rack unit’s 24 bit A/D converters to the ADAT Optical output of
the Delta 1010-AI. Select this mode when you wish to use the A/D converters
on your Delta 1010 rack unit to convert the signal directly to ADAT optical.
This may be desirable if, when doing your recording onto an ADAT, you find
that you prefer using the Delta 1010’s A/D converters.
NOTE: When this mode is selected, the audio outs of the Delta
1010 PCI card are no longer routed to the ADAT Optical out of the
Delta 1010-AI. This “default” routing is defeated.
ADAT Thru: When “ADAT Thru” is enabled, the signal present at the ADAT
Optical In of the Delta 1010-AI is routed directly to the ADAT Optical Out.
This mode is desirable when the ADAT input signal must be maintained, or
passed ‘thru’ to the ADAT output. The ADAT Optical in can still be routed to
the Delta 1010 PCI host card and/or the analog outs of the Delta 1010 rack unit.
NOTE: When this mode is selected, the audio outs of the Delta
1010 PCI card are no longer routed to the ADAT Optical out of the
Delta 1010-AI. This “default” routing is defeated whenever a
different source is selected for the ADAT Optical out (such as
“Analog Ins to ADAT”).
Mixed Modes: Any combination of Delta 1010-AI modes can be selected, the
results of which can be determined simply by summing the characteristics of
the different modes described in this section. ADAT Thru mode can be
applied to any of these combinations, with the result as described above, in
“ADAT Thru.”
NOTE: Whenever “ADAT Thru” mode is enabled, the “Analog Ins
to ADAT” mode will be defeated. Pressing the ‘Analog Ins to
ADAT’ button will have no effect in this case, since this switch
precedes ADAT Thru in the signal path.
Standalone Mode: To use the 1010 rack unit and Delta 1010-AI in
“standalone” mode, your Delta 1010-AI does not need to be connected to your
host computer. When the Delta 1010-AI is connected to the Delta 1010 rack
unit with the rack unit’s power supply properly attached, engaging the power
button on the Delta 1010-AI will trigger the Delta 1010 rack unit to power up.
When the Delta 1010-AI is not connected to the host computer or the when the
host computer is not powered on, the Delta 1010-AI in standalone mode is
capable of receiving its master clock signal from the ADAT optical input and
communicating this to the Delta 1010 rack unit’s D/A converters. “ADAT to
