360 Systems DigiCart/EX - Manual (Page 36)

Files recorded at various sample rates can be converted to a selected rate at play out. Files are not
permanently converted; the sample rate converter is switched into the data path and operates “on the
fly” during output. For example, if this setting is “Output at 48000”, all files will play at 48000.
Files recorded at any sample rate may be converted to match an external reference frequency during
play out. Setting this menu item to “Convert to Ref In” or “Convert to Dig In” will place the SRC in
the output path and use the externally supplied signal to clock the output rate. Ref In is the AES-11
BNC connector, Dig In is the digital audio input on either the BNC or XLR connectors.
The recorded sample rate of the current file is displayed on the LCD. Whenever the SRC is switched
into the signal path, the SRC indicator on the front panel will illuminate. The EXT SYNC indicator on
the front panel will illuminate if the sync source is set to one of the external sources.

This menu item sets the data word width for digital outputs.
Files recorded at various word sizes can be converted to a selected size at play out. Files are not
permanently converted.. When set to “As Recorded”, no conversion is applied. When set to “16-
Bit”, all files will be play in 16-bit format; dithering will be applied to 24-bit files. . Whenever
dithering is switched into the signal path, the DITHERED indicator on the front panel will illuminate.
If the sample rate of the file to be played is 96000 or 88200 then dithering is not performed,
regardless of the PLAY WORD SIZE selection

DigiCart/EX will convert analog signals to digital data at a sample rate selected here. Internal clock
signals are used, except for the Ref In Rate and Dig In Rates, which are external sync sources. Ref In
is the AES-11 BNC connector. Dig In is selected to be one of the digital audio inputs.
