User manual M-AUDIO CO2

[. . . ] This enables the CO2 to be used as a converter and a repeater. Converts S/PDIF optical-to-coaxial and coaxial-to-optical, simultaneously. "Thru" ports may be used to extend the length of coaxial or optical runs. Optical (Toslink) and RCA (coaxial) inputs and outputs. [. . . ] Vendors sell cables specifically for this use, but a good-quality video dubbing cable also has the proper characteristics. COAXIAL OPTICAL BI-DIRECTIONAL OPT ICAL COAX CO2 COAXIAL /OPTICAL CONVERTER After the switch has been set to the desired mode, connect the external S/PDIF devices. NOTE: While it is usually desirable to set the CO2's mode switch before connecting external equipment, the switch setting may also be changed while external equipment is connected to the CO2. You might, however, hear small bursts of noise while switching - this is normal as it takes a small amount of time for external devices to "lock on" to the S/PDIF data stream after the switching takes place. AUDIO POWER Device #2 Coax In Device #3 (optional) Optical In 9VDC COAX OPTICAL The CO2 has three different modes of operation: OPTICAL --> COAX. Data at the optical input is converted to coaxial output, and also copied "thru" to the optical output. In this example, the CO2 is a converter and a repeater. Data at the optical input is converted to coaxial output, and data at the coaxial input is converted to optical output. Both conversions occur simultaneously (also known as "full-duplex" operation). In this example, the CO2 is a bi-directional converter. Data at the coaxial input is converted to optical output, and also copied "thru" to the coaxial output. In this example, the CO2 is a converter and a repeater.
