[FADER]. Press the ENTERbutton,and the pop up window [REMOTE
COMMAND EDIT] [TABLE SETUP]will appear.
With the cursor highlighting [SW1], rotating the JogDialwill scroll
through the selections [SW1], [SW2], [SW3], [KNOB1], [KNOB2],
[KNOB3], [FADER1], [FADER2],and [FADER3]. The Step number of
the table, which is located in the field immediately to the right, is
displayed automatically.
Edit of Data Table
Cursorto the [EDIT]button, and press the ENTERbutton. The [STEP
SELECT]portion will appear.
Cursorto the step number portion, and select the number with the
JogDial. When the data table is for a Switch, the step number is fixed to
2. When the data table is Pan Knob or Fader, select a step number from
2, 32, 64, or 128. Even division is set for divided data tables. (With the
number of 2, the center position of the Pan Knob or Fader divides the
data area into two.) The initial value is 32 for the Knob and 128 for the
Fader.
Cursorto the data table portion, and select a step to be edited with the
JogDial.
Cursorto the Letter Box on the right side. Select data with the JogDial,
and press the ENTERbutton. Switches have two steps, On and Off, and
are indicated by 00H for On and 7FH for Off. The Pan knob has 32 steps
from 00H to 1FH, and Fader has 128 steps from 00H to 7FH.
Button

Pressing the D-I/O(Digital Input/Output) button on the Top Panel displays
the most recently accessed [D-I/O] window group selection. These windows
give you control over the digital input and output features of the DA7.
Pressing the D-I/Obutton cycles the windows in this group: [INPUT SET],
[TO SLOT], and [DITHER].

This is where you set the sample rate frequency that the DA7 will operate at,
as well as select the wordclock master source. You can also route the various
digital input sources to the faders, and get a visual confirmation of which
option cards are in which slots.
[SOURCE SELECT]Area
The settings selected in the [SOURCE SELECT]area adjust the sampling
rate frequency, wordclock reference, and reference source for the mixer.

D-I/O
[Fs] Field
The [Fs](frequency sample) data field shows the current frequency selected,
44.1k or 48k or external wordclock.
Button
When you select the internal sample frequency of 44.1k, this button will
appear as inverse video in the window. The DA7 becomes the master
wordclock source, and generates the sample frequency reference of 44.1kHz.
Button
When you select the sample frequency of internal 48k, this button will
appear as inverse video in the window. The DA7 becomes the master
wordclock source, and generates the sample frequency reference of 48kHz.
Wordclock operations
The wordclock feature of the DA7is an internal generator that provides a
reference for the DA7and a reference for the external devices connected to
the DA7. You can set the internal wordclock to synchronize to either 44.1 or
48K, selectable from the [D-I/O>INPUT SET]window.
The DA7has wordclock IN and OUT ports on the Rear Panel. Please note
that wordclock is not Timecode. It is a timing reference for the digital audio
signal. When the  button is selected in the [D-I/O>INPUT SET]
window, the DA7works as a slave unit to an external clock device.
The wordclock IN port on the DA7has a 75Wtermination on/off switch
located on the Rear Panel next to the wordclock IN BNC connector. With this
switch you can create a termination point for the wordclock input signal.
Refer to the graphic diagram for the switch routing. Remember, the last
device in the wordclock chain must be terminated.
It is imperative that the sampling frequency settings for the DA7
and all digital peripheral devices connected to the DA7 be set to
the same sampling frequency. The devices cannot perform
properly if the frequency settings do not match. The DA7 does
not convert from one sample frequency to the other. 
						

							When the DA7is the last device in a wordclock chain, the termination switch
must be on. In the [D-I/O>INPUT SET]window, cursorto the  , and
press the ENTERbutton.
When the DA7is connected between devices, the wordclock termination
switch must be off. A wordclock signal will pass through the mixer, relaying
the signal to the next device in the chain. The  button must be
selected when the DA7is relaying the wordclock reference.
The input and output wordclock signal specifications are provided in the
Appendix F, Technical Specifications.
Button
Select this button when an external clock reference will be used to slave
the DA7. Cursor to the button, and press the ENTERbutton. The button
will appear as inverse video when engaged.

Video Sync Operations
When the DA7is using the optional SMPTE/V SYNC card, it can receive a
video input signal from an external device and use it to drive the internal
wordclock. The video sync input port has a built-in 75Wresistor for
termination.
Button
A video sync signal into the SMPTE option card can be used as an
incoming clock source to the DA7. The DA7can then be slaved to a
video controller for video production applications. When the 
button is selected, you can choose:
[Fs](sampling frequency) of 44.1KHz or 48KHz
[REF](reference)- 50Hz, 60Hz, or 59.94Hz
[+-0.1%] - 0/UP/DOWN
The V SYNCreference signal input specifications are:
signal format: composite (NTSC or PAL)
input level: 1Vp-p ±8mv (no load resistor)
source impedance: 75W

When producing material for use with a video production,
reference the DA7to an incoming video signal. Do this during all
stages of the production. You will need to know the video
reference characteristics for the production, so that you can
reference the DA7correctly.
