LStream Interface to the Host L ynxTWO/L22
The LS-ADAT communicates with the host card through Lynx’s proprietary LStream interface.
LStream is a high-speed TDM serial interface that supports up to 16 channels of bi-directional 24-bit
audio data with synchronization and control information.
The individual channels of the LStream interface are integrated into the host card’s on-board digital
mixer. This allows LStream data, in this case ADAT data, to be freely routed and mixed with the host
card’s analog and digital audio I/O. Currently, the architecture of LynxTWO/L22 digital mixer
supports a maximum of 16 input and 16 output channels that can assigned as needed to the available
physical I/O’s. Controlling the digital mixer requires an understanding of the LynxTWO/L22 Mixer
application. Please refer to the User’s Guide included with the product you own for further details.
The number of channels supported on one LStream connection varies with sample rate as follows:
Sample Rate Speed Number of LStream
Channels
44.1/48 kHz Single 16
88.2/96 kHz Double 8
176.4/192 kHz Quad 4
It just so happens that the LStream channel capacity meets the requirements for handling the high
sample rate S/MUX features of the LS-ADAT. This will be discussed in more detail later.

LS-ADAT
LS-ADA T Output Routing
As shown below and in the Outputs page of the LynxTWO/L22 Mixer application, 16 output
channels are available from the digital mixer. Output channels 1-8 are wired to the analog outputs,
AES digital output, loopback registers, and to both LStream ports. Channels 9-16 are wired only to
LStream output channels. This connection scheme allows any (or all) of the digital mixer’s output
channels to be routed to the outputs of the LS-ADAT via the LStream interface. Please note, that the
signals sent to host card’s analog and digital outputs will be mimicked on the corresponding LSADAT channels if mixer outputs 1-8 are routed to the LS-ADAT.

Output Channel Source Selection
As shown in the diagram, each digital mixer output channel is derived from a four-input submixer.
The inputs to the submixer are recording and playback signals that can be selected using the Output
Monitor Source select buttons. These buttons reside in the Outputs page of the LynxTWO/L22 Mixer
just above the faders for each output channel. Choose up to four sources for each output. The mute
button (labeled M) next to each Output Monitor Source button must be in the “out” position in order
for the signal to be heard.

LS-ADAT
LStream Output Channel Group Mapping
The mapping of the digital mixer’s output channels to LStream channels can be controlled to
accommodate specific I/O configuration requirements. The Output Select control (labeled “1-8/9-16
Select” in the diagram above) allows the destination of the upper eight and lower eight mixer output
channels to be altered. This feature is particularly useful for re-routing output channels 1 – 8, which
are hardwired to the host card’s analog and digital outputs and to the LStream ports.
The Output Select control on the LStream page of the LynxTWO/L22 Mixer has two settings:
9-16/1-8 Maps mixer output channels 9-16 to LStream output channels 1-8 AND maps mixer output
channels 1-8 to LStream output channels 9-16 (this is the default setting).
1-8/9-16 Maps mixer output channels 1-8 to LStream output channels 1-8 AND maps mixer output
channels 9-16 to LStream output channels 9-16.
Typically, the default setting is easiest to work with if you are using only the first eight channels of
the LS-ADAT. If you are using all 16 channels of the LS-ADAT at 48 kHz it may be easier to use the
1-8/9-16 option. In this case, the numbering of the output channels of the LynxTWO/L22 mixer
corresponds to the LS-ADAT output channel numbering.
Please note that this section pertains to the mapping of LStream channels, and not to LS-ADAT
output channels. As will be discussed in a later section there is not always a one-to-one
correspondence between LStream channels and LS-ADAT I/O channels.

LS-ADA T Input Routing
As shown below, the ADAT data from the LS-ADAT is routed into the digital mixer of the host card
via the LStream 2 Header port. This data can be routed to the record bus using the Input Source
Select function within each Input Submixer.

The Input Source Selection buttons on the Record/Play page of the LynxTWO/L22 Mixer provide
access to the input select function. These buttons are located just above the meters for each input
channel.
When these buttons are clicked, a menu containing the 40 possible input sources will be displayed.
To access channels from the internal version of the LS-ADAT, choose sources from LStream 2 In 1
through LStream 2 In 16.
Each Input Source is routed to either the left or right channel of a record device. The record device
number is located under the meters, e.g., Record 1, Record 2. When setting up for recording in an
audio editing application, these devices numbers are used to specify the recording source.
Page 10
LS-ADAT
ADA T Channel Mapping and S/MUX
This section describes the mapping of LStream channels to LS-ADAT channels. This mapping varies
with sample rate since S/MUX is required to support sample rates above the standard ADAT sample
rate of 48 kHz.
At 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz there is a one-for-one correspondence between LStream channels and LSADAT channels. All 16 input and output channels are available.
At sample rates above 48 kHz, the signal channel capacity (and the number of required LStream
channels) is reduced since S/MUX utilizes multiple ADAT channels for each signal channel. Refer to
the following table.
88.1/96 kHz Sample Rate 176.4/192 kHz Sample Rate
LStream
Channel
1 1-2 1 1-4
2 3-4 2 5-8

5 9-10 16 – 5
6 11-12
7 13-14
8 15-16
16-9
S/MUX is enabled on demand, based on the sample rate currently selected for recording or playback.
As such, the mapping of channels will change when the sample rate changes. The user must be
keenly aware of this “automatic” re-mapping to avoid mixing and routing problems.

Clock Synchronization
The ADAT Clock control on the LStream page of the LynxTWO/L22 Mixer provides LS-ADAT
clock source selection as follows:
Clock Source Selection Action
Slave LS-ADAT clock is slaved to the host card system clock source. The
system clock source is selected on the Adapter page of the Mixer.
Optical In 1 The word clock derived from optical IN 1 port is the clock source
for the LS-ADAT and host card.
Optical In 2 The word clock derived from optical IN 2 port is the clock source
for the LS-ADAT and host card.
Sync In The word clock derived from optical SYNC IN port is the clock
source for the LS-ADAT and host card.
Important: If a clock source other than Slave is used, the LynxTWO/L22 clock source must also be
set to LStream 2 in the Adapter page of the Mixer.
Page 11
LS-ADAT
To insure glitch-free recording and playback using an external ADAT device, the LS-ADAT, host
LynxTWO/L22, and external ADAT must run synchronously from a common clock source. There are
only two scenarios to consider that satisfy this requirement:
1. The LynxTWO/L22 host card is the clock master. The LS-ADAT and external ADAT device
must run in clock slave mode. This case includes host card synchronization to external clocks
such as word clocks and composite video.
2. An external ADAT device is the clock master. The LS-ADAT clock source must be derived
from either of the optical inputs or ADAT sync input and the host card clock source must be
set to LStream 2.
Due to the high-jitter observed on clocks generated by ADAT recorders, we recommend that the
Slave clock source be used if possible. This choice utilizes the LynxTWO/L22 low-jitter sample
clock for all ADAT clocking. To run in this mode, the clock source of ADAT recorder must be set to
slave to its digital input (DIG IN) and either of the LS-ADAT’s optical outputs must be connect to
the ADAT’s optical input.
Select a clock source other than Slave if your system configuration does not allow the ADAT device
to run in clock slave mode or you wish to slave the LS-ADAT to an external device.
Synchronization with the ADAT Sync In Port
The LS-ADAT incorporates an ADAT compatible 9-pin Sync In port for synchronization to external
ADAT devices. The signals received on this port include ADAT system exclusive MIDI messages for
transport control functions, time code, and word clock. Most importantly, the received time code data
provides the mechanism for enabling sample-accurate transfers of audio data to and from an external
ADAT device.
The ADAT Sync In port feeds time code control logic on the LS-ADAT that provides two methods of
sample-accurate synchronization. In systems using ASIO compatible audio applications, the LSADAT utilizes Steinberg's ASIO Positioning Protocol for synchronization to ADAT time code.
Alternatively, synchronization using the LS-ADAT's Cue Point capability initiates recording or
playback with sample period resolution. The LS-ADAT also translates received time code to MTC
for general compatibility with many applications
ADAT synchronization requires the connection of a 9-pin cable from the Sync Out port of an external
ADAT device to the LS-ADAT Sync In Port.
ASIO Positioning Protocol Synchronization
ASIO specifies a sample count value for each audio data buffer to control sample position during
record or playback. When an ASIO application is running, the LS-ADAT will properly generate the
sample count for every buffer based on time code received from the SYNC IN port.
ASIO synchronization can be utilized in any ASIO compatible application that supports ASIO
Positioning Protocol. We have tested this with both Steinberg Nuendo and Cubase SX.
To enable ASIO Positioning Protocol in Nuendo and Cubase SX:
1. From the Transport menu select Sync Setup. In the Synchronization Setup dialog box, select
ASIO Positioning Protocol under Timecode Source.
Page 12
LS-ADAT
2. From the Transport menu enable Sync Online.
With Positioning Protocol enabled, the ASIO application position cursor will track the time code
position of the external ADAT device with sample accuracy. Refer to documentation included with
your audio editing software for more information regarding ASIO synchronization.
Cue Point Synchronization
The Cue Point synchronization method relies on dedicated hardware in the LS-ADAT to detect a
match between a specified SMPTE frame address (the Cue Point) and time code data received on the
Sync In Port. When a match is detected, recording or playback is initiated in hardware, thus avoiding
delays inherent in software sync techniques.
This sync method can be used with most applications without altering settings within the
applications. The application is unaware that Cue Point is enabled.
To perform Cue Point sync:
1. Connect an ADAT machine to the Sync In Port of the LS-ADAT. Rewind the tape to a point
at least 5 seconds before the desired start position.
2. Start the audio application and determine the SMPTE frame address at which you would like
to start recording/playback. The frame must be referenced to a frame rate of 30 fps.
3. Launch the LynxTWO/L22 Mixer.
4. Insert the frame address from step 2 into the Cue Point text box on the LStream page. It must
be entered in hh:mm:ss:ff format exactly.
5. Check the Cue Point Enable box by clicking on it.
6. Start recording or playback normally in the audio application. At this point data will not be
transferred to /from the LynxTWO/L22. The application will be in a “paused stated” waiting
for a buffer transfer.
7. Press play on the ADAT recorder.
8. When the LS-ADAT receives the time code matching the Cue Point, it will initiate data buffer
transfers and in turn normal recording or playback activity will start in the audio application.
Cue Point Synchronization in Cool Edit Pro
The Sample Accurate Sync function in Cool Edit Pro (available from Syntrillium) interfaces with the
LS-ADAT’s Cue Point capability to provide a simplified synchronization setup. This feature
eliminates the requirement of manually inserting a Cue Point frame address and selecting Cue Point
Enable in the LStream page of the mixer. Refer to following instructions:
1. Connect an ADAT machine to the Sync In Port of the LS-ADAT. Rewind the tape to a point
at least 5 seconds before the desired start position.
2. Select Multitrack View in Cool Edit Pro (CEP) from the View menu.
3. Set the position cursor in CEP to the desired start position in the audio file.
4. From the Options menu select Sample Accurate Sync
5. Start playback in Cool Edit Pro
6. Press play on the ADAT recorder.
7. When the LS-ADAT receives the time code matching the cursor position, it will initiate data
buffer transfers and in turn start normal recording or playback in the CEP.
