Such a statement demands its proof - here we go!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The ADI-8 DD consists of two digital format converters with each up to 16 channels. It offers 34 different conversion modes, all with 24 bit resolution. Besides the bi-directional conversion between all formats (ADAT\/TDIF, ADAT\/AES or TDIF\/AES), numerous additional modes are available. A simplified list looks like this:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e LEFT PART: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-channel AES (4 x stereo, XLR) to ADAT optical || TDIF converter (96 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-channel AES to 2 x ADAT || 2 x TDIF splitter (48 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-channel AES to 8 channel TDIF || ADAT splitter (96 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-channel ADAT \/ TDIF to 2 x ADAT || 2 x TDIF splitter (48 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-channel ADAT \/ TDIF to ADAT || TDIF converter (48 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-channel ADAT \/ TDIF to ADAT || TDIF converter (96 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eRIGHT PART: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-channel TDIF \/ ADAT to ADAT || AES (4 x stereo, XLR) converter (96 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-channel TDIF \/ ADAT to ADAT (|| AES) converter (48 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-channel AES to AES Sample Rate Converter (96 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-channel AES to 8-channel AES splitter (96 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-channel AES Double Wire to AES Single Wire converter (96 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-channel AES Single Wire to AES Double Wire converter (96 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-channel ADAT \/ TDIF to ADAT || TDIF Sample Rate Converter (96 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e* ADAT || TDIF means that the output signal is present in parallel, i.e. at the same time on the ADAT and TDIF outputs. ADAT \/ TDIF means that the input can be either ADAT or TDIF. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplicated? Not at all\u003c\/strong\u003e. The ADI-8 DD is both easy to understand and easy to operate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the \u003cstrong\u003eADI-8 DD\u003c\/strong\u003e is a dual converter, there are two modes available at the same time from the modes mentioned above - with few exceptions. Professionals are really thrilled by these features: the ADI-8 DD understands Sample Split, S\/MUX, Double Wire and Double Line. It is thus compatible to all known methods for raising the sample rate by sample distribution, on all supported platforms. Also multiple units can be stacked and operated sample-aligned, using word clock.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Both converters work both completely independent and intelligently coupled. The actual states of incoming and outgoing signals and ongoing operations within the unit are displayed with LEDs of different colors in an easily overseeable way.

It allows for a wide range of applications. When the internal clock is used, the SRC works as a perfect \u003cstrong\u003ejitter-killer\u003c\/strong\u003e. And thanks to the SRC's \u003cstrong\u003eclock-decoupling\u003c\/strong\u003e non-synchronizable items like CD-players and DAT recorders can be used together as if they were synchronizable.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Devices from RME have an outstanding reputation. To maintain this, we keep on looking for details that others miss. A present example is the ADI-8 DD's \u003ca\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSyncAlign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e technology. As soon as more than one AES or SPDIF input are used, there is usually the chance of an accidental error of ± 1 sample misalignment between the stereo inputs. SyncAlign prevents this error and guarantees sample synchronicity between all 4 x 2 channels.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e All of the ADI-8 DD's I\/Os support 96kHz\/24bit. As ADAT\u003cfont size=\"1\"\u003e\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e optical and TDIF are usually restricted to 48kHz, in DS mode (Double Speed) two channels are being used for the transmission of one channel's data. The Sample Split algorithm used is also implemented in the Hammerfall and Hammerfall Light. Thus the ADI-8 DD also represents an ideal \u003cstrong\u003eAES\/EBU frontend\u003c\/strong\u003e for the Hammerfall series.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The compact device with 19\" width and 1 HU has numerous exceptional features like \u003ca\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntelligent Clock Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e (ICC) and storing of all settings.
