4 - E-MU 1010 PCI Card & Interface
The E-MU 1010 PCI card is the heart of the system and contains E-MU’s powerful E-DSP chip. The powerful hardware DSP
on this card leaves more power free on your CPU for additional software plug-ins and other tasks.

EDI
Connector
Connects to the MicroDock using EDI (E-MU Digital Interface) cable. This cable provides
a two-way data link between the E-MU 1010 and the MicroDock.
S/PDIF
Digital
Audio
Input &
Output
Each RCA phono jack carries two channels of digital audio. S/PDIF digital I/O can be used
for the reception and/or transmission of digital data from external digital devices such as
a DAT machine, an external analog-to-digital converter or an external signal processor
equipped with digital inputs and outputs. The embedded clock contained in the input
data stream can be used as a clock source for the 1010.
The S/PDIF out can be configured in either Professional or Consumer mode, always with
24-bits of resolution.
Important: S/PDIF I/O is disabled on the 1010 PCI when the MicroDock is connected.
ADAT
®
Optical
Digital
Input &
Output
The ADAT optical connectors transmit and receive 8 channels of 24-bit audio using the
ADAT type 1 & 2 formats (at 44.1kHz or 48kHz). The embedded clock contained in the
input data stream can be used as a clock source for the 1010. The ADAT optical ports can
also be switched to carry optical S/PDIF.
ADAT can also be transmitted and received at 96kHz or 192kHz using the S/MUX
standard which encodes the extra data onto multiple channels.
Important: ADAT I/O is disabled on the 1010 PCI when the MicroDock is connected.
