4 The DIO88 Card
Introduction
The Synapse quad speed audio bus enables up to 32 channels being
transported from Master Card to ADD-ON card and simultaneously 32
channels from ADD-ON card(s) to Master Card.
The DIO88 can be used in 3 modes. The card
only
works as an
ADD-ON
card
and can therefore
not
be used without a Master card. Mode 1 makes
the card a universal 4 AES/EBU in and 4 AES/EBU output card. This
gives the user a function to insert and extract up to 8 mono channels from
any Quad Speed compatible Master card.
Mode 2 turns the DIO88 into an 8 AES/EBU insert card, providing the
insertion of up to 16 mono channels into any Quad Speed compatible
Master card.
Mode 3 is used to extract 8 AES/EBU (16 mono audio) channels from a
Quad Speed compatible Master Card.
