DIGITAL I/0

MASTER CLOCK

To learn about setting the MASTER CLOCK parameter, see “Designating the Master
Clock for Digital Audio Input” on Page 133.

DITHER

If you’re sending audio to a connected external digital recorder that records at a lower
bit depth than the VS-2480 (Page 132),
you can dither the VS-2480’s output signal so that
it sounds its best at the bit depth the external device is using. Dithering adds an
inaudible veil of noise to the signal in order to mask audio artifacts that are introduced
when bits are discarded as audio travels from a higher bit-rate device to a lower one. To
set DITHER, select the bit depth of the external digital device.

DIGITAL COPY PROTECT

The VS-2480 allows you to use SCMS (“Serial Copy Management system”) to prevent
additional copies from being made of digital audio you’ve recorded from the VS-2480’s
S/P DIF coaxial or optical outputs onto a DAT tape or MiniDisc. To prevent copying,
turn the DIGITAL COPY PROTECT parameter on before sending the digital audio to
the DAT or MiniDisc recorder.

R-BUS2 COAXIAL Sel

See “Selecting the Desired Digital Inputs” on Page 131 for an explanation of this
parameter, which also appears on the EZ ROUTING PATCH BAY screen.

R-BUS2 OPTICAL Sel

See “Selecting the Desired Digital Inputs” on Page 131 for an explanation of this
parameter, which also appears on the EZ ROUTING PATCH BAY screen.

Turn off DITHER until it’s needed since it affects all audio transmitted from the
VS-2480’s digital outputs, including the audio sent to your connected Roland DS-90A
or DS-50A Digital Reference Monitors.
