Going from 48kHz, 16-bit into PT at 96kHz, 24-bit?

[el biciclista]

I have a Kurzweil K2600 synth connected via AES/EBU (thru a Kurzweil converter "box") to a Digidesign 192 I/O (PTHD II). The digital output to the 192 I/O is 48 kHz, 16-bit.

I want to input this stereo pair into a 96 kHz, 24-bit session in ProTools.

QUESTION:
Can the 192 I/O convert this input to 96 kHz, 24-bit? How do I set it up?

If the 192 I/O cannot handle this, I would alternatively have to take the K2600 analog outputs directly to the 192 I/O (although I am limited on 192 analog inputs available). I really don't want to use the analog outputs of the K2600 for recording into the 192 I/O, since it is pretty dumb to go through the A/D and D/A conversions, when I have purchased digital transfer capability with the Kurzweil. Of course, if there is no other choice, then that's what I'll do.

Thanks for the help!!

No replies means this is a dumb question?

Just want to know if the 192 I/O can somehow handle a digital input at a lower sample rate (and bits) than the session sample rate. To do so, I assume it would have to interpolate the lower sample rate data to SRC up.

Or, does it just refuse to accept the input?

Thanks,
Mike

Nobody has ever needed to import "old" digital audio data into a session at the wrong sample rate?? Nobody had old 44.1 or 48kHz data you wanted to use in a "new" session after you started mixing at 96kHz??

Please guys, I need some help on this.
Thanks,
Mike

It's not a dumb question necessarily, but what you're asking is readily available here. From the producti information page of the 192 I/O:


-Switchable, real-time sample rate conversion on digital inputs on the 192 Digital card, which allows easy streaming of digital signals at any sample rate.

I hope that answers your question. Good luck.

Shawn,
Thanks! I couldn't get the link to work, but you led me back to the 192 I/O Guide, and I found it on page 19. I didn't have "SR Conversion" selected.

This is great. Thanks again!
Mike
