1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the LT-ADAT™! We are proud to provide you with a reliable, professional-quality product for your digital audio requirements. This manual provides basic information to help you get started. Additional information is available via our web site and email support. Please refer to the support section at the end of this manual for support contact information.
Nomenclature used in this manual The following typographic conventions are used in this manual: ALL UPPER CASE TEXT refers to a specific parameter selection control (i.e. SYNC SOURCE) or a cable connection. Text in quotation marks indicates a parameter selection value or menu option (i.e. “EXT”). Phrases, such as: Start > Programs > Lynx Studio Technology use the greater than symbol (“>”) to indicate multiple menu options or mouse selections within a software control context.
6 Installation Procedure 1. Remove the AC power cord. Take the top off of the Aurora 16 or Aurora 8. There are seven large screws plus one small screw near the center of the front faceplate. 2. Remove the LSlot Expansion Port cover above the AES I/O Ports by removing the two mounting screws. Set these two screws aside, as they will be used to install the LT-ADAT. 3. Remove the screw from the Aurora circuit board that is adjacent to the JP1 connector and the white serial number/barcode label.
. Attach one end of the included ribbon cable to the 14-pin header labeled “JP2” on the LT-ADAT. Insure that the ribbon cable is exiting the top side of JP2. Attach the other end of the cable to the LStream port labeled “JP3” on the Aurora main board. Note: The red stripe on the end of the ribbon cable will face the back of the Aurora. 7. Carefully route the ribbon cable underneath the LT-ADAT and inside of the standoff. 8.
External Connections The photo below details LT-ADAT connectors. The LT-ADAT provides two ADAT optical inputs and outputs. They are labeled on the mounting bracket and in the figure above. The ADAT channels corresponding to each port are as follows: IN 1 OUT 1 IN 2 OUT 2 ADAT input channels 1-8 ADAT output channels 1-8 ADAT input channels 9-16 ADAT output channels 9-16 Connect the LT-ADAT to ADAT devices in your system using standard ADAT compatible (Toslink) fiber optic cables.
Aurora Routing After installation, the Aurora will need to be configured to send and receive signals from the LT-ADAT. Signals from the ADAT inputs can be delivered to the analog and/or digital outputs of the Aurora, and signals from the Aurora’s analog or digital inputs can be routed to the LT-ADAT outputs. This routing can be established globally from the Aurora front panel or on a per-channel basis from the Aurora External Control Software.
The figures below detail three common clock schemes: 9.1 Aurora as clock master, ADAT device slaves to wordclock Aurora SYNC SOURCE: INT ADAT Device Clock Source: Wordclock 9.2 Aurora slaves to ADAT device via Lightpipe connection Aurora SYNC SOURCE: LSLOT ADAT Device Clock Source: Internal 9.
ADAT Channel Mapping and S/MUX This section describes the mapping of LSLOT channels to LT-ADAT channels. This mapping varies with sample rate since S/MUX is required to support sample rates above the standard ADAT sample rate of 48 kHz. At 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz there is a one-for-one correspondence between Aurora channels and LT-ADAT channels. All 16 input and output channels are available.
Specifications ADAT OPTICAL I/O Number / Type Channels Two inputs and two outputs, compatible with Alesis ADAT Type I and Type II Optical Digital Interface Protocol, up to 24-bit data 16 @ 44.1kHz 48 kHz sample rates 8 @ 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz sample rates, S/MUX enabled 4 @ 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz sample rates, SMUX enabled Fast-locking phase-locked loop with 30 kHz to 55 kHz lock range Input Receiver CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION Clock Sources Aurora, Optical In 1 ARCHITECTURE Core FPGA-based core.
