it's in AND out. use an adaptor-stereo 1/8"(3.5mm) to dual rca.
like this:

one rca is in, one rca is out sp/dif...

thnx
i think i can't use RCA cables instead?

right, no audio cables - use rca video cables instead. They have the proper 75 Ohm impedance and usually feature a yellow plug.
not shure if the more expensive double shielded hi-fi geek cables are any better (or worth the price), but with regular cables you most likely will hear crackling.

cheers, Tom

Hi, I can't set up Sytem Link between my 2 PCs (LunaII one and PulsarII the other)...
I follow all instructions from Manuals, forums, tutorials... but nothing happens.
Yes, I can link S/Pdif and I can transfer audio channel, but Vst System Link can't find this SPDIF "network".
I use Cubase SX3 with V-Stack, and I wish syncronize theese apps.
Any suggestion about it?
Thanks, I've tryed in all ways...sometimes I think that SFP 4.0 can't transmit VST Sytem Link as a "normal" audio board.

i don't know what you mean.
an sp/dif cable is 75ohms. they usually have rca connectors(althgough ANY connector could be used, theoretically). why would i send you to the wrong thing? use the adaptor and two 75ohm sp/diff cables. easy.

the adapter Gary pointed out to you is the proper adapter. 1 RCA will give you SPDIF INPUT and the other RCA will give you SPDIF OUTPUT.

This would work too:

1 for in and 1 for out.

However I got mine at a dollar store for
$1.14 cents tax included.

hi
i never know about digital cables
so i meant whether i have to buy 2 of spdif cables?,hehe sorry pal
yesterday i nearly had a quarrel with salewoman,she insisted that coax has only one cable,not pair
she said if i want a pair then buy 2 which will cost
around 25bucks,haha
let's forget it
i managed to try plugging in your way with RCA
and found that
scope can send signals but not received
maybe i have to do a new setting in scope toolbar?
thnx folks

the saleswoman was correct. you will need 2 slightly expensive cables to get in AND out at the same time. you will also need an sp/dif source and an sp/dif destination module in your project window. you can use one cable if you only need one direction.

it's strange the person i bought lunar from said that i have to switch samplerate to slave to use system link?
Anyway it still doesn't work for me
Can anyone post the picture of connection of spdif source and dest in scope project for me please?
