Connect audio connections as shown in the diagram below. TDIF cables must be connected from
the 2 TDIF ports of the Mixtreme card to the 2 TDIF ports of the 328.
The Mixtreme card is available with an S/PDIF option. If your Mixtreme card has the S/PDIF
option installed, coaxial digital S/PDIF cables should also be connected from the Mixtreme S/PDIF
output to the 328 S/PDIF input and vice versa.

328 TDIF 2 Î Mixtreme TDIF 2
The TDIF connections allow digital transfer of either direct outputs for input channels 1-16 to the
Mixtreme card, or the Digital 328’s 8 Group outputs. The S/PDIF output from the console can be
assigned to either the Mix output or 1 of 3 stereo auxilliary outputs. The 328 S/PDIF Input can
be configured to be a digital Stereo Input or as a digital 2 Track Return.

To configure the Digital 328 as the wordclock master, enter the 328 menu pages by pressing the
<MENU> button on the right hand side of the LCD display. Using the encoder beneath the
display, scroll up or down until the 'Clock Source Sel' menu is highlighted, and press <ENTER>.
Here, either the internal 44.1kHz clock or the internal 48kHz clock must be selected, depending
on the sampling rate at which you wish to work. Press <ENTER> to set the sample rate and
<MENU> to return to the menu pages.

To ensure that the Digital 328 Tape Ports are both set to TDIF to work with the Mixtreme, enter
the 328 Menu pages by pressing the <MENU> button on the right hand side of the LCD display.
Using the encoder beneath the display, scroll up or down until the 'Tape Port Select' menu is
highlighted. Press <ENTER> and keep pressing the Up cursor arrow until the
'<Tape Ch17-24 >' menu page is displayed. Using the encoder, set the Bank Source to TDIF.
Press the Down cursor arrow once more, to set the wordlength. The Mixtreme is capable of 24bit recording, and so for optimum results, 24-bit wordlength can be selected here. If your audio
sequencer software does not allow 24-bit recording, 20-bit or 16-bit should be selected. The
sequencer manuals should be consulted for further information. Set the desired wordlength on
the 328 using the encoder.
Scroll down again and set the sample rate flag setting to the same sample rate as set in the
wordclock setting above.
Scroll down once more and set the '<Tape 25-32>' settings to the same settings as in the '<Tape
17-24>' pages, as described above.

The 328 S/PDIF input can be routed to any one of the following inputs:
Stereo Input 1;
Stereo Input 2;
FX Return 1;
FX Return 2;
2 Track Tape Return,
providing that the AES/EBU input has not already been assigned to that input. Commonly the
Mixtreme S/PDIF output would best be routed to Stereo Input 2, or the 2 Track Tape Return
input.

Assigning a digital source to an input will override an analogue signal, if
present.
