5 • Connection - Multi-recorder connection
The DRIVE SELECT switch on the rear of the controller should be set to the num­
ber of recorder units connected, minus one. In the illustrated example, three
units are connected, so this switch should be set to "2".
The DRIVE ID switches of the recorder units should be set in sequence. The first
unit should have an ID of "0", the next of "1 ", etc.
Units should be linked with the I/O OUT of one unit feeding the I/O IN of the
next. The first unit in the chain is linked to the controller (CONTROL to I/O IN).
The last unit in the chain should have the supplied terminator fitted to the I/O
OUT connector.
Audio sources should be connected to the first recorder (ID="0") in the chain,
as with the single-recorder setup (see "Single-recorder connection" on page 17
above).
It is necessary to make word clock connections if SDIF-II digital inputs are being
used. There is no need to daisy-chain word clock connections, as they are car­
ried through the 50-pin I/O buss from unit "0" (the first) down the chain to the
last. The W.CLK IN DIP switch on the controller should be set accordingly.
REPRO monitoring can be carried out from all recorder units in the chain, but
only the first recorder unit in the chain can be used for INPUT monitoring. Make
monitoring connections accordingly.
