Turning an adat port into an SPDIF port?

Hi.
In scope, is it possible to use one of the adat outputs as optical spdif or can you only toggle between using all adat ins/outs as either adat or spdif?

It seems like you can only hard toggle between the 2 in the samplerate window. Would be cool if there is a way to have one port set up as a selectable adat/spdif port
Thanks

According to the manual that should be possible. For the details see the "I/O & Drivers" chapter.

Scope v5 and up:

sample rate settings dialogue box > button "optical S/P DIF" !
ONE (1) of the ADAT ports becomes opt. S/P DIF,-

rules for 6-DSP and 14-DSP cards.

XITE I dunno,- never tried and isn´t mentioned in the Scope v5 manual.

You're right — in Scope, the optical ports can only be globally switched between ADAT and S/PDIF via the samplerate settings. Unfortunately, there's no way to assign one optical port as ADAT and another as S/PDIF simultaneously. It’s a system-wide setting. A workaround would be using a format converter externally if you really need both at the same time.
