DIO-8 BNC question

[davestrat1]

Hello everyone! I'm new here and need a little guidence. Can anyone please tell me if the BNC for the DIO-8 cards are bi-directional? I have 4 in my desk and want to use an external clock (os is 5.1). My rig consits of the D8B, dual HD24s, Presonus Firestudio lightpipe a PC and a Syncgen. I'm debating getting a Apogee clock card but if I don't need it I won't.
If I have to get the Apogee clock card will the D8B operating system recognize the card vice the 4th DIO-8 card?

Thanx,

Dave

No. Clock out only. If you are using HD24s, you will need EPROM Vsn. 2. With the desk off, pull each card and check its version. For a fuller explanation, read this

You need one if you want to clock the d8b from an external clock, The Apogee clock is also considerably superior to the stock clock.

If I have to get the Apogee clock card will the D8B operating system recognize the card vice the 4th DIO-8 card?

The Apogee clock replaces the stock clock in the sync slot.
