AC POWER
Connect RADAR to the AC mains using the supplied power cord. The power switch is located on the left
side of the front panel. See INTRODUCTION: OVERVIEW: FRONT PANEL.
The ATX Power Supply in the RADAR will internally auto switch depending on the voltage
output in one’s region.
SCSI
Ensure that the Active Terminator is attached securely to the external SCSI connector on the rear of
the unit. If additional external SCSI devices are used, remove the terminator, connect the devices and
place the terminator on the last device in the chain.
Make sure that the last device in the SCSI chain is terminated using the supplied active
terminator. Incorrect termination can produce unpredictable results leading to problems
with current and previously recorded material.
SYNC REFERENCE
Sync (clock) reference is one of the keys to reliable digital audio interfacing. There are 11 possible
formats, determined by the installed multi-channel digital I/O card(s), that can be used as the clock source
for the RADAR.
The current selection in MAIN MENU / SYNC MENU / SYNC REFERENCE determines which format
will be used as the sync source.
Use the key, the and keys and the key to go to the MAIN MENU / SYNC
MENU / SYNC REFERENCE and press the key.
Use the and keys to select a sync source and press the key.
WORDCLOCK
The WORDCLOCK / VIDEO IN BNC connector accepts either a wordclock or a video sync source using
a coaxial cable.
Wordclock is a clock signal running at the same frequency as the sampling frequency of the digital audio
being transferred or recorded. Syncing enables multiple digital devices to be locked together so that audio
can be reproduced, transferred and recorded without any digital noise or interference.
The wordclock frequency value displayed in the SYNC REFERENCE dialogue will depend
on the sampling rate of the current project not the rate of the incoming wordclock signal.
