Scope specification confusion

kdiamond · Post by **kdiamond** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 6:33 am

Hi.

I was looking on creamware.com for Scope Project Plus specification.

There's a picture showing 3 x Midi conectors
3 x XLR Male,3 x XLR Female, 4 x Optical Connectors.

Specs for project Plus are:
Analog I/O Balanced 2
S/PDIF optical 2
ADAT (channels) 16
AES/EBU (XLR balanced) 2
Midi In/Out/Thru

What means 2? 1x In/Out or 2xIn/Out?
What means 16? 8x In/Out (1xAdat) or 16x In/Out (2xAdat)

From picture I guess that would be:
1x Adat I/O (8 in/out)
1x Spdif optical (stereo in/out)
1x AES/EBU (stereo in/out)
1x Analog (stereo in/out)

If 2xAdat, where's SPDIF optical connector then?

Please help me figure this out.

Thank you
Br,
Dali

Config is as follows:

1. INPUT XLR (2 chan. ie. left and right)
2. OUTPUT XLR (2 chan. ie. left and right)
3. 2x ADAT IN Ports
4. 2x ADAT OUT Ports
5. MIDI (I/O/T)
6. AES/EBU XLR

One of the ADAT sets is switchable between ADAT and spdif. It's not possible to have 2 sets of ADAT and spdif running at the same time.

Damn !

So it's like:

2x Adat
or
2x Spdif
or
1x Adat, 1x spdif

Right?

Aha I get it now.

One optical connector can be spdif insted of ADAT.

Thx

sorry, I deleted my original post - it's like timechaser wrote, one optical IO is configurabe. I have 2 cards listed in the sample rate dialog that made it look like both IOs were switchable

cheers, tom

Thx for you light fast replys!!!
What are options for expanding I/O's.

I/O card is only for Scope HOME.

To buy another same Scope Project Plus card and use 2 in same computer?

Well, actually switching could work. I need more that 8 chanels only when recording a drumkit and then I don't need SPDIF.

But would like to know about posibillity of I/O upgrade anyway.

Thx

More Scope cards is not only useful to have more I/O's, also the MIDI ports, and that's a great thing, but you can have more DSP power and you won't regret it as you can load more stuff all together, more fx, synth voices etc.

Cards are connected with an STDM cable inside the box, appearing as an unique card with more I/O's and dsp power. You can have a maximum of three and they perform very well sharing an IRQ for all of them.
