Details

The TEB (TDIF Expansion Board) adds an 8-channel TDIF interface to all ADAT-capable RME cards (see below). Special features include manual choice of clock reference, status LEDs and a word clock output.

The TEB is designed for maximum flexibility. Used with the Hammerfall series and the HDSP 9652, it can even be used at sample rates of 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz. Meeting the TDIF specification, Double Line mode uses two channels in single speed to get one channel in double speed. Therefore at 88.2/96 kHz 4 channels are available.

Installation is done in a convenient manner using the supplied bracket. No PCI slot on the motherboard is needed. The integrated Clock Select Switch sets the TDIF reference clock, thus avoids any clocking problems even with 'problematic' TDIF devices.

Specifications

• TDIF port: D-sub 25 pin
• Supported sample rates: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, varispeed (33 - 57 kHz)
• Double Line mode: 4 channels at 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz (not with DIGI96 series)
• Word clock output: BNC, low-impedance driver stage, 4 Vss into 75 Ohms, short-circuit-proof
• Power supply uses 3.5" floppy connector, 5 V DC, 100 mA
• AEB needs no slot on the motherboard
• Standard bracket, board dimensions AEB4: 75 x 95 mm
• 2 internal cable 2-pin, 1 internal cable 3-pin, 1 power adapter cable 5 1/4" to 2 x 3.5" included

Applications

• HDSP 9652
  Two TEBs can be connected and operated simultaneously. One TEB can be used together with either one AEBx-I or AEBx-O.
• DIGI96 SERIES
  TEBs use the internal ADAT interface of the DIGI cards. Therefore they do not work with the DIGI96 (which did not support ADAT).
  One TEB can be connected and operated. 
• HAMMERFALL DSP MULTIFACE / DIGIFACE
  Multiface and Digiface use the Hammerfall DSP PCI card. This card has no internal inputs or outputs. Therefore no Expansion Boards can be used.
• HAMMERFALL SERIES
  An operation with the Hammerfall or Hammerfall Light requires board revision 1.5 or higher, because the internal connector ADAT1Out was not implemented in earlier versions.
  One TEB can be connected and operated. Additionally one AEBx-O can be used simultaneously
