ADAT port daisy chain??

[iamfractal]

Hello thanks in advance..

I know there is an adat port back of eclipse.. At first I misunderstood eclipse has

eight channel like H8000 🙂 but if I use adat port, still I can use 2 channels of audio

(pair of 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8)

Currently I have TC fireworx, it also has adat port.

Question is, can I connect them thru daisy chaining?

 I want to save channels (If I use adat port, 6 channels are remaining unused)

 And what is the actual purpose of adat port? I think if 2 channels are only supported

adat port is meaningless (S/PDIF or TOSLINK only needed)

sorry for stupid question but plz help me 🙂

 The Eclipse can be set up to put its two output channels on any of the 8 ADAT channels, leaving the other 6 channels either muted or unchanged. It can also receive its input from any of the ADAT channels.

 This means that you can daisy chain the ADAT through the Eclipse, if I understand you correctly. You would probably want to use Wordclock as the sync source.

 See page 27 of the Eclipse Manual for more information.

 This sounds cool!

I have an ADA8000 that I'm only using half the channels. I'll see if it and the eclipse can share my one ADAT port.

Thanks
