3.4.7 Digital In Source
Hilo offers a choice of AES or S/PDIF as the digital input source. With S/PDIF you have the option of Coax or Optical
Inputs.
Before being pushed, this button shows the current selection. Upon pushing the button, you can select: AES; S/PDIF
Coax; or S/PDIF Optical. If selecting SPDIF Optical, the Optical Out mode must be set to SPDIF. See section 3.4.4.
Note: You do not need to make this choice for outputs, as all three digital outputs are independently available and
assignable.
3.4.8 Output Mix Routing Page
Now this is where it gets interesting. Although Hilo is, at first glance, a two channel AD/DA converter, it is really
much more and this page gets down to the nitty gritty.
The Output Mix Routing page is where any combination of Hilo’s inputs can be routed to any combination of Hilo’s
outputs. The principle here was to make the various I/O formats as independent as possible, very little is “hard-wired”.
This is not simple point-to-point patching. Multiple sources can be merged to a single output. Levels can be set and
adjusted for all input sources and outputs. Sources can be mirrored to multiple outputs. Sources and outputs can be
muted. This is why Hilo has an internal 32 x 32 channel mixer. This is where you get to use it.
