ADAT Optical cables must be connected from the ADAT Out ports of the Mark of the Unicorn 2408 mkII hardware to the ADAT In ports of the 328XD and vice versa. The ADAT connections allow digital transfer of either direct output for input channels 1-16 to the Mark of the Unicorn 2408 mkII hardware, or the 328XD's 8 Group outputs. [. . . ] Using the encoder set the Bank Source to ADAT. Press the Down cursor arrow once, to set the wordlength. The MOTU 2408 mkII is capable of 24-bit recording, and so for optimum results, 24-bit wordlength can be selected here. If your audio sequencer software does not allow 24-bit recording, 20-bit or 16-bit should be selected. The sequencer manuals should be consulted for further information. Set the desired wordlength on the 328XD with the PARAM encoder. Press the <MENU> button to return to the main menu. 3 Soundcraft 328XD and MOTU 2408 mkII S/PDIF Input The 328XD S/PDIF input can be routed to any one of the following inputs: Stereo Input 1, Stereo Input 2, FX - 1, FX - 2, 2 Track Tape Return, provided that the AES/EBU input or oscillator has not already been assigned to that input. Commonly the 2408 S/PDIF output would be routed to Stereo Input 2, or the 2 Track Tape Return input. NOTE: Assigning a digital source to an input will override any analogue signal present on that input. Press <MENU> to enter the menu pages, scroll through the pages until the `SPDIF I/P Setup' is highlighted and press <ENTER>. Using the PARAM encoder, select the destination for the S/PDIF input, and press <ENTER> to confirm the setting. Press <MENU> to return to the menu pages. NOTE: If the S/PDIF input is not required, NOWHERE should be selected in the menu. 4 Soundcraft 328XD and MOTU 2408 mkII MOTU 2408 MKII CONFIGURATION Wordclock The Mark of the Unicorn 2408 mkII must now be set up to receive the wordclock transmitted by the 328XD. Open the PCI-324 Console window, by double clicking the correct icon and select "2408 mkII :Bank A Optical" from the `Clock Source' options. NOTE: If TDIF is used for audio data, then the Mark of the Unicorn 2408 mkII must operate as a master to send wordclock to the Digital 328. A Wordclock cable must be fitted from the WORDCLOCK OUT of the MOTU2408 mkII to the WORDCLOCK IN of the Digital 328. The 328XD must then be set to slave from BNC wordclock input in the "Clock Source Select Menu. [. . . ] Please refer to the Mark of the Unicorn 2408 mkII documentation for other system settings, when working with sequencer packages. The synchronisation options described within this document are normally available from within an audio system settings page.
