User manual TASCAM IF-AE8HR

[. . . ] Operation of this equipment in a residental area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. CAUTION Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by TEAC CORPORATION for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. WARNING: This apparatus must be earthed. As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured GREEN-and-YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol ç or coloured GREEN or GREENand-YELLOW. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. [. . . ] This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. 16) Power Lines -- An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 17) Overloading -- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in risk of fire or electric shock. 18) Object and Liquid Entry -- Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. 19) Servicing -- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. 20) Damage Requiring Service -- Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b) if liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product. d) if the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation. f ) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance ­ this indicates a need for service. 21) Replacement Parts -- When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. 22) Safety Check -- Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition. 23) Wall or Ceiling Mounting -- The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer. 24) Heat -- The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat. TASCAM IF-AE8HR 3 TASCAM IF-AE8HR 1 Introduction AES (professional--PRO) or as IEC-60958 TYPE II (SPDIF--CONSUMER). Consumer and professional formats received at the XLR-type inputs are automatically distinguished by the unit. The TASCAM IF-AE8HR provides a convenient way of exchanging digital audio data between TDIF-1equipped devices, such as DTRS recorders, and AES/ EBU devices. A single TDIF-1 connector carries eight channels of digital input and output. Four XLR-type connectors accept four two-channel input signals, and another four XLR-type connectors output four two-channel input signals. The word synchronization is selectable, using a front panel switch, from any of the four XLR-type inputs, from the TDIF-1 source, or from an external independent word clock source. The IF-AE8HR allows high-resolution (up to 24 bits) audio data to be transferred between units. In addition, four channels of high-frequency audio data at 88. 2 kHz or 96 kHz may be selected from the front panel and transferred using the IF-AE8HR. [. . . ] However, they are always the word clock selected using the CLOCK switch 3. D ~ IN (power in) Use the supplied power cable to connect the IFAE8HR to the power supply. Always ensure that your power supply matches the requirements marked on the rear panel of the unit. If you are in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. C WORD SYNC ­ OUT (HI Fs) This BNC connector outputs a high-frequency word clock: either 88. 2 kHz when 44. 1k or 88. 2k is selected, or 96 kHz when 48k or 96k is selected. 4 Block Diagram DIGITAL I/O ( AES/EBU ) OUTPUTS 1-2 4 3-4 AES/EBU DIO LINE DRIVER 4 INPUT SELECTOR DATA 7-8 PLL (RECEIVER) Fs/AES 1-2 512Fs Fs/2 LINE RECEIVER 5-6 7-8 INPUTS Fs/2 PLL x 512 ROM CPU Keys and indicators LOCK CLOCK SOURCE WORD IN TDIF-1 AES(1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8) SAMPLING FREQUENCY 44. 1k 48k 88. 2k 96k DUAL HI SPEED CHANNEL STATUS PRO CONSUMER 4 4 4 TDIF DIO 4 Fs/TDIF 512Fs DIGITAL I/O ( TDIF-1 ) 5-6 3-4 x1 x2 WORD IN THRU OUT OUT (STD FS) (HI FS) 5 Specifications XLR3-31-type, balanced, 110 Auto-detect PRO AES3-1992 Amendement 3-1999 (AES) and CONSUMER IEC-60958 TYPE II formats XLR3-32-type, balanced , 110 Switchable between PRO AES3-1992 Amendement 3-1999 (AES) and CONSUMER (IEC-60958 TYPE II) formats D-sub 25-pin female unbalanced Follows the TDIF-1 version 2 specification AES/EBU, TDIF-1, or WORD SYNC IN 96 kHz, 88. 2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44. 1 kHz (all ±6%) Up to 24 bits BNC DIGITAL I/O (AES/EBU) INPUTS connector type input format DIGITAL I/O (AES/EBU) OUTPUTS connector type output format DIGITAL I/O (TDIF-1) connector format Word clock source Valid input and output Fs rates Word length WORD SYNC IN Connector TASCAM IF-AE8HR 7 TASCAM IF-AE8HR Level WORD SYNC OUT (STD Fs) Connector Level WORD SYNC OUT (HI Fs) Connector Level WORD SYNC THRU Connector Level Dimensions (w x h x d) Weight Power supply Power consumption Applicable electromagnetic environment Peak inrush current TTL level (75) BNC TTL level (75) (44. 1 kHz, 48 kHz) 75, outputs high-frequency clock BNC TTL level (75) (88. 2 kHz, 96 kHz) BNC TTL level (75) auto terminating, echoes clock at WORD SYNC IN 482 x 44 x 195 mm (19. 0 x 1. 75 x 7. 7 in. ) 2. 6 kg (5. 7 lb. ) 120 V AC, 60 Hz (USA/Canada model) 230 V AC, 50 Hz (Europe/UK model) 6W E4 0. 5A 5. 1 Dimensional drawing 482mm (19. 0") 466mm (18. 3") 195 mm (7. 7") 182 mm (7. 1") 11 mm (0. 4") 1mm 44mm (0. 05") (1. 7") TEAC CORPORATION Phone: (0422) 52-5082 Phone: (323) 726-0303 32mm (1. 3") 3-7-3, Nakacho, Musashino-shi, Tokyo 180-8550, Japan 7733 Telegraph Road, Montebello, California 90640 5939 Wallace Street, Mississauga, Ontario L4Z 1Z8, Canada Privada De Corina, No. 18, Colonia Del Carmen Coyoacon, Mexico DF 04100 5 Marlin House, Marlins Meadow, The Croxley Centre, Watford, Herts.
