Need help with connecting Lexicon PCM 80 to HD Omni
Hi, I'm looking to connect my PCM 80 to the Omni to use as an external EFX processor. I've connected the Omni and PCM 80 by S/PDIF but am not clear on setting up the clocking. I think I need to set the PCM 80 to external clock and keep the Omni as the master clock - would that be correct? Also, I'm not sure what I need to do in setting up the I/O in the Omni's settings. Can anyone please advise or point me in the direction where I can find out more info on how to do this? I gave the PDF manual a quick look but maybe I'm missing where to find this info.
THanks for your help, JoeM |

Re: Need help with connecting Lexicon PCM 80 to HD Omni
Definitely set the Omni as the master clock if you can. Which means you just leave it on "internal" which is what it should normally be set at anyway. You'll just have to figure out how to set the Lexicon to be clocked externally.
In the Omni's main tab, make sure that digital is set to spidf rather than AES, and that adat is set to optical (so that makes sure spidf is not set to optical). Once you do that, you should be okay. You may know this already, but you can just use the Lexicon as an insert, either on an audio track, or on an aux track (where you use an aux send from your audio track to that aux track). It works just like a plugin. When you click on an insert, instead of inserting a plugin, you choose "output", and select spidf, and the Lexicon functions as a plugin. Note that this will not work if you've selected Low Latency monitoring. But it should work fine if you're recording in the typical fashion with a low buffer setting. |

Great! Thanks so much for your help and great explaination. I didn't know how to use the S/PDIF output when setting up an insert so this is a big help for me. Thanks again!

The note said: Track "Audio 1" Insert D ("Hardware insert") has been made Inactive because the associated DigiLink assignment is currently not available.
Track "PCM 80" Insert A ("Hardware insert") has been made Inactive because the associated DigiLink assignment is currently not available. I went into Hardware setup and for input 5-6 I selected S/PDIF 1-2 and that took care of the "Track "PCM 80" Insert A ("Hardware insert")" message but I'm still getting the Track "Audio 1" Insert D ("Hardware insert") message - not sure what that is. I also set Output 5-6 to Optical (S/PDIF but I'm not sure if that's correct. In any event I still do not see the S/PDIF I/O available as an insert or an input to an aux track. I'm only seeing the analog choices. Looks like I need to study the IO Setup Primer PDF to get a better handle on using the Omni. JoeM |
