TECHS: 192 0r 96 HD interfaces in STANDALONE MODE

[nukmusic]

Digi Techs???? or Someone Why can't you use the 192 0r 96 HD interfaces in STANDALONE MODE like the old 888/24 interface??? Why wasn't this feature included on the new units? Please reply

6. How can I use the 888/24 in Stand Alone mode & how can I tell if it is in Stand Alone mode?

To use your 888/24 as a ‘stand alone' 24 bit Analog-Digital or Digital-Analog converter:

Quit Pro Tools if it is launched.

For Analog-Digital conversion, be sure to disconnect or turn off any external digital devices (DAT machines, effects processors, etc.) that may be providing word clock information to the 888/24's AES/EBU or S/PDIF channel 1 & 2 inputs.

An AES/EBU (or S/PDIF — see below) word clock signal is necessary for Digital-Analog conversion in Stand Alone mode. Be sure to have a digital device providing word clock connected to the AES/EBU inputs 1 & 2 of the 888/24 interface.

In Stand Alone mode, the 888/24's default word clock input port is AES/EBU, unless changed to S/PDIF via the corresponding internal jumper setting. Please refer to the 888/24 I/O Installation Guide for specific instructions and guidance.

To verify that the 888/24 is in Stand Alone mode:

Check to see that the "analog" LED display for meters 1 & 2 is flashing. The LED flashes between a half-lit state to full display.

Turn off your CPU.

You have to give to get.

in the 888/24 the analog and digital outputs were linked with no way of separating them.

the 192 and 96 give you the option of running with the outputs linked or unlinked.

I find this is to be much more convenient.

why not both features?
