TDIF cables must be connected from the 2 TDIF I/O ports of the Mixtreme card to the 2 TDIF I/O ports of the 328XD. [. . . ] Here, either the internal 44. 1kHz clock or the internal 48kHz clock must be selected, depending on the sampling rate at which you wish to work. Press <ENTER> to set the sample rate and <MENU> to return to the menu pages. Tape Ports To ensure that the 328XD Tape Ports are both set to TDIF to work with the Mixtreme, enter the 328XD menu pages by pressing the <MENU> button on the right hand side of the LCD display. Using the PARAM encoder beneath the display, scroll up or down until the 'Tape Port Select' menu is highlighted. Press <ENTER> and press the Up cursor key until the '<Tape Ch17-24 >' menu page is displayed. Using the PARAM encoder, set the Bank Source to TDIF. Press the Down cursor key once to set the wordlength. The Mixtreme 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 using the PARAM encoder. Press the Down cursor key again and set the sample rate flag setting to the same sample rate as set in the wordclock setting above. Press the Down cursor key once more and set the '<Tape 25-32>' settings to the same settings as in the '<Tape 17-24>' pages, as described above. 3 Soundcraft 328XD and Soundscape Mixtreme 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 Return 1; FX Return 2; 2 Track Tape Return, provided that the 328XD AES/EBU input or internal oscillator has not already been assigned to that input. Commonly the Mixtreme S/PDIF output would best be routed to Stereo Input 2, or the 2 Track Tape Return input. [. . . ] A basic setup utilising all 16 inputs and outputs is shown below. The mixer can be fully customized depending on the required configuration - consult the Mixtreme manual for more information. 6 Soundcraft 328XD and Soundscape Mixtreme 7 Soundcraft 328XD and Soundscape Mixtreme SOUNDCRAFT HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES LTD CRANBORNE HOUSE CRANBORNE ROAD POTTERS BAR HERTS EN6 3JN UK TEL: +44 (0) 1707 665000 FAX: +44 (0) 1707 660742 EMAIL: info@soundcraft. com SOUNDCRAFT USA 1449 DONELSON PIKE NASHVILLE TN 37217 USA TEL: 1-615-360-0471 FAX: 1-615-360-0273 EMAIL: soundcraft-usa@harman. com www. soundcraft. com 8 Soundcraft 328XD and Soundscape Mixtreme [. . . ]
