CHAPTER 3: Installation

Installing the Device

1. Open the packaging and check that the contents have been

delivered complete and undamaged.

2. Fix the device in a 19’’ frame with four screws, or place it on

a non-slip horizontal surface.

Warning

Avoid damage from condensation by waiting for the device to adapt

to the environmental temperature. Proper operation can only be

guaranteed between temperatures of 5º C and 45º C and a maxi-

mum relative humidity of 80%, non-condensing.

Ensure that the unit has sufﬁ cient air circulation for cooling.

3. Remove the protective cap from the optical MADI port(s)

before use.

Retain the protective cap if the optical port is unused. This will pro-

tect against soiling which can lead to malfunction.

4. Connect signal cable for the MADI signals.

ANDIAMO.MC- SC / SC version (optical / optical)

ANDIAMO.MC- SC / BNC version (optical / coaxial)

CHAPTER 3: Installation

5. Connect the signal cables1for the analog audio signals to

the DSUB-25 connectors (TASCAM pinout - see page 43).

1 signal cables are not included in delivery

7. Using the power cords provided connect both PSUs to a

matching power supply:

6. Optional: Connect an USB cable to the USB port for remote

control or ﬁ rmware updates. This requires the D.O.TEC® USB

driver (Windows) being installed ﬁ rst. The driver and the instal-

lation instructions are available at www.directout.eu.

Link: http://www.directout.eu/en/support/downloads/andiamo.mc.html

Warning

Do not connect voltage sources to the analog outputs. This may

cause damage at the output stages. Observe the technical speciﬁ -

cations - see „CHAPTER 7: Technical Data“ on page 40.

Warning

This device MUST be connected to the mains using the three-cord

power leads supplied with the system. Only supply the voltages and

signals indicated (84 V – 264 V).

This device may operate with only one power supply. To provide

power supply redundancy, it is recommended to connect both PSU 1

and PSU 2 to independent power supplies with separate fuses.

DirectOut Technologies

CHAPTER 3: Installation

Keep any packaging in order to protect the device should it need to

be dispatched for service.

The ﬁ rst seconds after switch-on the actual ﬁ rmware is indicated by

the lower metering panel - e.g. ﬁ rmware version 1.2.

To update the ﬁ rmware an installed D.O.TEC® USB Serial driver (Win-

dows) and the D.O.TEC® Update Tool are necessary. The software

and the installation instructions are available at www.directout.eu.

Link: http://www.directout.eu/en/support/downloads/andiamo.mc.html

8. Turn on the power switch and check the status of PSUs on

the front panel:

CHAPTER 4: Operation

Introduction

This chapter describes the basic operation of the device. Note that

throughout this manual, the abbreviation FS refers to sample rate or

sample frequency. So, when dealing with scaling factors, the follow-

ing sample rates can be written as:

• 44.1 kHz = 1 FS; 88.2 kHz = 2 FS

• 48 kHz = 1 FS; 96 kHz = 2 FS

Global Control

The control on the right of the front panel indicates the power supply.

Power switches are on the back panel:

Power 2 Switches

Enable / disable power supply.

PSU 1 & PSU 2 2 LEDs (green): indicate the status

of both power supply units

LED OFF = Power supply inactive

LED ON = Power supply active

The green LEDs (PSU 1 & PSU 2) indicate that a working power

supply is connected to the power supply unit. Note that an unlit LED

does not guarantee that the device is free of voltage. To ensure

that the device is completely disconnected from mains voltage, the

power chords must be disconnected.

DirectOut Technologies

CHAPTER 4: Operation

Menu Control

All functions of the converter can be accessed using a simple menu.

Two pairs of push buttons are used for navigation and settings.

The upper pair is used to modify a setting. The lower pair is used to

navigate the menu.

SET Buttons - ▲▼

Press to adjust a setting. Only

active in menu mode.

SELECT Buttons - ▲▼

Press longer than 2 seconds to

enter the menu. Press short for

navigation in menu mode.

When the menu mode is active a LED will blink in one of the sec-

tions while the remaining LEDs of this section are glowing weak.

This indicates:

• a setting can be adjusted in this section

• the blinking LED(s) is the selected option in this section

After a short period of time the menu mode is exit automatically.

See also „CHAPTER 5: Menu Navigation“ on page 34.

Blinking LEDs are also used to indicate an error (e.g. missing sync).

Concentrate on the section where one LED is blinking and the re-

maining LEDs are glowing weak.

DirectOut Technologies

CHAPTER 4: Operation

Clocking

The system clock can be set to one of three possible clock sources

in the menu (see „CHAPTER 5: Menu Navigation“ on page 34).

The LEDs on the front panel inform about selection and sync state

of the selected source.

75Ω LED (yellow): indicates the termination

status of the word clock input

LED ON = Termination active

LED OFF = Termination inactive

WCK LED (green): indicates use of

word clock as clock source

LED ON = Clock source set to word clock

LED blinking = Clock source

set to word clock and no signal present

LED blinking pattern = signal

locked but not in sync

MADI LED (green): indicates use of

MADI input as clock source

LED ON = Clock source set to MADI input

LED blinking = Clock source

set to MADI input and no signal present

INT LED (green): indicates use of internal

clock generator as clock source

LED ON = Clock source

set to internal clock generator
