Connect audio connections as shown in the diagram below. Coaxial S/PDIF cables must be
connected from the DS2416 S/PDIF output to the 328 S/PDIF input and vice versa.
Besides the digital S/PIDIF connections, the DS2416 has analog inputs and outputs. The DS2416
outputs can be connected to any 328 input – Stereo 1 for example. The inputs can be derived
from any 328 output, such as a pair of aux sends or the mix output, depending on how you wish
to record.

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, the sample rate at which you wish to work is also determined. Select ‘Internal:44.1kHz’ or
‘Internal:48.0kHz’, depending on the chosen sample rate:
The S/PDIF Input on the console must be routed to a suitable destination. The available options
are one of the 2 Stereo Inputs, one of the 2 FX Returns or as a Digital 2 Track Return.
So, the input which should be used will depend on which other inputs are connected. It is likely
that the most suitable input would be either Stereo 2 or as a digital 2 Track Return.
Enter the 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 ‘SPDIF I/P Setup’
menu is highlighted and press <ENTER>. Using the encoder select the input required and press
<ENTER>.
For example
Similarly, the S/PDIF Output from the console must be routed from a suitable source. The
available options are Auxiliary Ouput 1/2, 3/4 FX 1/2 or the Mix output. If the Auxiliary or FX
Outputs are selected, they are used as a stereo source, 1 acting as the left channel and 2
acting as the right channel. If an Auxiliary output is selected, both the S/PDIF digital output and
the analogue sends will be active.

Enter the menu pages by pressing the <MENU> button on the right hand side of the LCD

In addition for both S/PDIF Input and Output, an option of ‘Nowhere’ is
available as a destination or source. If only a S/PDIF input was
required, for example, the output source should be set to ‘Nowhere’.

Reference will need to be made to the DS2416 documentation, and documentation supplied with
audio sequencers and other software.
The DS2416 Patch Utility is also required. This should also be downloaded from the
Yamaha website:
http://www.yamaha.co.jp/product/proaudio/homeenglish/navi/index.htm
This enables the card to be set to slave to the 328’s master clock.
Wordclock
Run the patch.exe application.
First click the ‘DIO #1’ tab and set the clock source to DI (Digital In) so that the card slaves to
the 328 master clock as shown below:

The DS2416 relies on third party software, and for the purpose of
illustration,
C-Console DS2416 by C-Mexx will be used. C-Console
provides stand alone control of the DS2416’s functions without
requiring direct integration into a sequencer package. For further
information visit http://www.c-mexx.com.

Configuring DS2416 S/PDIF I/O
Click on the ‘Master & InPatch #1’ tab and activate the S/PDIF inputs by clicking both S/PDIF
switches:
The pan controls should also be panned hard left and right and the Stereo output activated:
The 328 SPDIF output will then be routed into the DS2416 card available for hard disk recording
and the output will be routed to the 328 input as selected on page 3.
Do not close the DS2416 Patch application as the card’s clock will
revert to its default internal state.
NOTE
If using the patch.exe application alone (ie without an application such
as
C-Console ), it must also be used to activate the DS2416 S/PDIF
input.

If using C-Mexx C-Console for control of the DS2416, the digital S/PDIF input appears again on
channels 19 and 20 but
C-Console of course offers far more control.

Open C-Console and click View |
In Patch | New and ensure that
the S/PDIF input is set to be
active on channels 19 and 20 as
shown (left).
The 328 S/PDIF output will now
appear on channels 19 and 20 on
the DS2416 C-Console control
surface as indicated on the
following page. From this input
the 328 S/PDIF output can be
routed to other software
applications for hard disk
recording.
For further information, relevant
C-Mexx C-Console documentation
should be consulted.
patch.exe must still be run and left active in the background if slaving
clock from the 328. If using the DS2416 as the master clock source,
patch.exe does not need to be run.
