360 Systems Instant Replay DR-552 - Manual (Page 23)

page 18 Instant Replay Owner’s Manual
When using Instant Replay as a digital audio source, RECEIVER ECHO should be DISABLED
in the FILE TRANSFER MENU. Also, it is not a good idea to use cuts with different sample
rates on the same project, as this may cause equipment connected to the digital outputs to click,
pop, mute or stop recording when the sample rate changes. The analog outputs are not affected
by sample rate changes.
AES/EBU Output
An XLR-3 male connector provides a digital audio output in the AES/EBU format. Use only
special AES cable having an impedance of 110 ohms. Limit the cable run to 100 feet. Do not use
microphone cable for runs over 6 feet.
Always set the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT parameter in the CONFIGURATION Menu to
PROFESSIONAL when using the AES/EBU output. Although the output is still active with the
CONSUMER output formats selected, the signal is not AES/EBU compliant.
IEC 958 Type II Output
An RCA "phono" connector provides a digital audio output to consumer or semi-pro equipment.
Most equipment with input connectors marked "S/P DIF" can also be connected to this output.
Always set the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT parameter in the CONFIGURATION Menu to
CONSUMER or COPY PROT. CONS. when using the IEC 958 Type II output with IEC 958 or
S/P DIF equipment. Recordings made from Instant Replay in COPY PROT. CONS. mode can
not be copied by other digital audio input devices equipped with the Serial Copy Management
System (SCMS).
When DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT is set to PROFESSIONAL, this output produces a signal that
is compatible with the AES/SMPTE digital audio standard. This signal is normally supplied on a
BNC connector. It is designed to allow digital audio to be routed and cabled using the same
methods as 75
Ω
video signals.
D-NET File Transfer Ports
Instant Replay can transfer its files to other 360 Systems products and certain DAT recorders
using the D-NET file transfer network. D-NET uses AES/EBU protocols, and the digital audio
inputs and outputs described above. The choice between XLR and RCA input connectors is made
as a menu selection. Both XLR and RCA outputs are always active during D-NET transfers.
D-NET data is not standard digital audio, and may not be listened to. See the section titled D-
NET File Transfers for complete information on using this network.
WARNING: SOME EQUIPMENT CONNECTED TO THE DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUTS OF THE
INSTANT REPLAY MAY TRY TO REPRODUCE D-NET TRANSFERS. THIS CAN CAUSE
DAMAGE TO LOUDSPEAKERS IF THE LEVEL IS SUFFICIENT.
