Figure 6 – Double Speed 24/96 to CD format
The dCS 974 converts a double speed 96 kS/s 24 bit AES input to a 44.1 kS/s
16 bit signal available from all of the 4 AES, 2 electrical SPDIF, optical SPDIF or
SDIF-2 outputs. The conversion set up uses Filter 2 (there is a choice of 4).
The SonicStudio™ uses 24/96 as double speed AES at the time of writing.
do this: Connect Sonic Solutions SonicStudio™ workstation AES output to AES 1 input
on the dCS 974.
do this: Load the setup from Store K, or use the settings below.
do this: Output from any AES output or any of the SPDIF outputs or, using two data
cables and one clock, via the SDIF-2 outputs.
