ST AUDIO DSP2000 C-Port What is displayed by External Links? After we have performed the needed one-time steps to 'tell' the DSP24 driver what hardware options we have installed, we can check what else we can do with the software. The software is divided into three main sections (yes, from right to left): 1. All the available inputs are displayed on the right side of the window. You can connect them virtually on screen when needed. 2. The section in the middle symbolizes the I/O interface on the DSP24 card. The virtual connectors on the right side (gray) are representing the input channels of the card, the connectors on the left side (white) are the available sources for the outputs. 3. The output channels of the card are displayed on the left side of the window. The digital output (S/PDIF Out) and also the 8 channels of the external boxes are displayed under with the DAC headline (Digital to Analog Converter) The virtual cables on screen show you the signal routing for all inputs and all inputs. The input cables on the right side can be removed and added as needed. The virtual cables for the outputs (which mainly control the monitoring) cannot be removed but replaced by other connections. Because of that, the connections are displayed as straight lines. The five gray virtual connectors in the middle section are corresponding to the MME wave devices (and the ASIO-driver) you are using inside your application. The first one (S/PDIF In) corresponds to the wave device ADSP24 S/PDIF Input (n) (where n is the card number when multiple DSP24 cards are installed) or to channel 9/10 of the ASIO driver. The others (Input x,y) correspond to the wave devices ADSP24 Ext. (n) Input x/y or to channels x/y of the ASIO driver (where x+y are the numbers of the channels). This means for example: if you record using ADSP24 Ext. (1) Input 5/6, you will get the signal from the yellow virtual cable which would be the input signal from the inputs number 5 and 6 of the ADC&DAC2000 box. On the left side of the middle section, the available output sources are listed with white connectors. You can see:
