Connecting The
Audio Connections Connect audio connections as shown in the diagram below. Toslink Optical cables must be connected from the ADAT Out ports of both the ADATs to the ADAT In ports of the 328 and vice versa. The ADAT connections allow digital transfer of either direct outputs for input channels 1-16 to the ADATs, or the Digital 328’s 8 Group outputs.

Synchronization Connections Besides the audio connections, a BNC Wordclock cable must be connected from the 328 Wordclock Out to the BRC 48kHz input to synchronize the transmission of the samples.
NOTE
It must be decided whether MIDI Time Code (MTC) or Longitudinal Timecode (LTC or SMPTE) is to be used to transmit the timecode from the BRC to the 328. If LTC is to be used, MIDI connections must still be made, in order to enable the transmission of MIDI Machine Control (MMC). MMC is responsible for the transmission of the Transport and Locate Controls between BRC and 328. In the following diagram only the SMPTE/LTC cable is optional.
