Hammerfall® DSP System HDSP 9632 - RME

20. Configuring the HDSP 9632
20.1 Settings Dialog
Configuring the HDSP 9632 is done via its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can be
opened by clicking on the hammer icon in the dock. The mixer of the HDSP 9632, TotalMix,
can be opened by clicking on the mixer icon in the dock.
The Hammerfall DSP’s hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions
and options which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different
requirements. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:
• Input selection
• Level of analog I/Os
• Configuration of digital I/Os
• Synchronization behaviour
• State of input and output
• Current sample rate
• Latency
Any changes performed in
the Settings dialog are applied
immediately - confirmation
(e.g. by exiting the
dialog) is not required.
However, settings should
not be changed during playback
or record if it can be
avoided, as this can cause
unwanted noises.
The status displays at the
bottom of the dialog box
give the user precise information
about the current
status of the system, and
the status of all digital signals.
SyncCheck indicates whether there is a valid signal (Lock, No Lock) for each input (Word
Clock, ADAT, SPDIF), or if there is a valid and synchronous signal (Sync). The AutoSync
Ref(erence) display shows the input and frequency of the current sync source.
SPDIF In
Defines the input for the SPDIF signal. 'Optical' relates to the optical TOSLINK input, 'Coaxial'
to the RCA socket, 'Internal' to the jumper CD/AEB/SYNC IN, 'AES' to the optional XLR cable.
SPDIF Out
The SPDIF output signal is constantly available at the phono plug. After selecting 'Optical' it is
also routed to the optical TOSLINK output. For further details about the settings ‘Professional’,
‘Emphasis’ and ‘Non-Audio’, please refer to chapter 25.2.
SPDIF Freq.
Displays the sample rate of the signal at the SPDIF input.
