So, these cards have multiple optical connectors.
That means I can
just run as many ADAT A/D units as I like? Input and output? And all
of that will be visible as a single soundcard with many channels in a
single jack demon? Is that how it works? Without having to make
software bridges between multiple jack demons?
Yes.
For my HDSP9652, I have 26 inputs and 26 outputs in qjackctl, no matter
how many ADAT-(and S/P-DIF-)devices are actually connected.
The thing is that I want 4 outputs, too. It seems
that 19" units with
both in and out are rare, so I am aiming for an 8-port in and a 4-port
out in separate units. That would be all in the same jackd?
Yes.
What happens if one of the units doesn't do world
clock and you mix it
with world clocked units? How does that end up in the same jackd? Does
it?
jackd doesn't care about how or if you attached your A/D-converters. It
just shows your soundcard.
But if you use some input with and some input without Wordclock-sync,
you will surely experience lots of dropouts. Not xruns, cause your
soundcard's working fine with jack, the dropouts will come from the
A/D-converters that don't sync with your soundcard.
I tried to keep my Presonus converters in sync via ADAT, exclusively,
and I got dropouts. The manufactures answer was, that I have to use
Wordclock.
Again, I had no problem with that f*** cheap Behringer-device, syncing
it with ADAT. Could be fortune. I don't know. :)
Greets!
