IF-TAD Interface
The IF-TAD interface allows you to transfer up to eight channels
of digital audio data between digital audio devices equipped with a
TDIF-1 interface, and those equipped with an adat
1
optical inter-
face.
The units may be multitrack tape recorders, hard disk recorders,
digital mixing consoles fitted with the appropriate interfaces, D/A
converters, or any combination of these.
Either unit may act as the word clock master.
Data may be transferred in either direction, or in both directions
simultaneously.
A BNC connector provides a word clock signal derived from the
adat unit’s signals. When the adat unit is set to be the clock master,
this word clock signal can be used as the word clock source for the
TDIF-1 unit.
The LEDs on the IF-TAD give a continuous visual indication of
the status of the link between the units, as well as the power sup-
plied to the IF-TAD.
The IF-TAD supports the standard sampling frequencies of
44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
The IF-TAD supports a variety of word lengths, up to 24 bits.
When 20-bit or 24-bit data is transmitted to 16-bit units, rounding
or truncation is performed by the receiving device.

1 Connectors and indicators
1
Power connector and indicator
Connect the PS-P414 adapter supplied with the IF-TAD to this
inlet. When power is supplied at the correct voltage, the green
indicator will light.
WARNING
Always use only the PS-P414 power supply designed
for use with the IF-TAD. Do not use any other power
adapter, or damage may occur to the IF-TAD.
2
WORD SYNC OUT
This BNC connector provides a standard word clock output, based
on the word clock derived from the unit to the connected adat
device.
3
TDIF-1 connector
Use this connector with a unit equipped with a TDIF-1 interface
(for example, a DTRS recorder or a digital mixing console).
IF-TAD Interface
TASCAM IF-TAD –

WARNING
Note that you should always use genuine TASCAM
cables, or cables which have been approved for use
with TDIF-1 interfaces by TASCAM.
Although these cables appear similar to certain types
of computer cables and use similar connectors, the
cables themselves are very different, and the different
electrical characteristics of the cables can cause dam-
age to the equipment connected with the wrong
cables.
If the use of cables other than TASCAM cables causes
or results in damage, the warranty is voided.
4 TDIF-1 indicator
This indicator lights orange when a valid DTRS signal is received
at the TDIF-1 connector.
If this indicator is not lit, it means that the unit has become discon-
nected, or is not switched on.
If the indicator is flashing, it means that both units (the TDIF-1
and the adat device) have been selected as the clock master, or
both have been selected as the clock slave. Make sure that one unit
is selected as the word clock master, and the other as the word
clock slave.
5 adat IN and OUT connectors
Use these connectors to make the appropriate connections
(IF-TAD IN to the adat device’s optical OUT and the IF-TAD
OUT to the adat device’s optical IN). Use only optical audio
cables as recommended by the manufacturer of the adat device.
IF-TAD Interface
12
– TASCAM IF-TAD
6 adat indicator
This indicator will light orange when a valid adat signal is
received at the IN connector.
If the indicator is not lit, the connection may not be made cor-
rectly, or the adat device may be turned off.
If the indicator is flashing, it means that both units (the TDIF-1
and the adat device) have been selected as the clock master, or
both have been selected as the clock slave. Make sure that one unit
is selected as the word clock master, and the other as the word
clock slave.
NOTE
If this indicator and the TDIF-1 indicator 4are both
flashing, this probably means that both the TDIF-1
device and the adat device have been selected as
clock sources. Rectify this situation by selecting one
device as a clock master and the other as a clock
slave.
IF-TAD Interface
TASCAM IF-TAD –

2 Operation
We suggest (though it is not absolutely necessary) that all equip-
ment is turned off when making connections to and from the
IF-TAD.
WARNING
Since the word clock source will probably be changed
for one of the devices, causing an audible “glitch”, you
should turn down the levels of all monitoring equip-
ment, to avoid damage to speaker systems, etc.
2.1 Word clock selection
As mentioned earlier, one, and only one, of the devices connected
to the IF-TAD must be acting as a word clock master. If both
devices are selected as a word clock master device, the indicators
4 and 6will flash, and the IF-TAD will not function.
Likewise, if neither is selected as a word clock master, there will
be no digital audio transfer possible (data will not be converted
using the IF-TAD).
Note that the WORD SYNC OUT connector also provides a clock
signal, based on the signals from the adat unit connected to the
IF-TAD, and this clock can be used to synchronize other units in
the system.
Refer to the units’ documentation for full details of how to set up
the units as word clock masters and slaves. A few examples of how
to use somecommonly-used units are given below (however your
best source of reference is always the documentation provided
with the unit):
IF-TAD Interface
14
– TASCAM IF-TAD
• On the TASCAM DA-98 and DA-88 DTRS recorders, the
CLOCK key is used to select between the different clock
sources available. If this is set to INT, the word clock is be
internally derived, or if a word clock is available at the BNC
WORD IN connector, the word clock is taken from there.
• On the TASCAM DA-38 DTRS recorder, the WORD
SYNC IN key is used to select between internal clocking
and an external word clock received at the WORD IN con-
nector.
• To set the TASCAM TM-D8000 digital mixing console
clock source, use the DIGITAL I/O ClOCK screen.
• To set the TASCAM TM-D1000 digital mixer clock source,
use the Master Clock Select sub-menu of the Option menu.
NOTE
As well as the word clock selection, you should also
make sure that the audio input source and output con-
nectors for all units are set to the digital input receiving
data from the IF-TAD and the digital output transmit-
ting data to it.
On the TASCAM DTRS series of recorders, this is
done using the DIGITAL IN key.
2.2 Problems which may occur
Clock loss on the adat unit may be corrected by changing the pitch
on the ADAT recorder away from standard pitch, and then return-
ing it to standard pitch. This will force a re-locking of the clock.
Alternatively, you may have to turn off the adat recorder, wait for a
short while and then turn it on again.
IF-TAD Interface
TASCAM IF-TAD –
15
2.3 Notes on word length
Some models of ADAT recorder record and play back digital data
at 20-bit resolution.
• On the TASCAM DA-38 and DA-98 recorders, if a 16-bit
input word length is selected, 20-bit data will be truncated to
the 16 bits recorded on the DTRS recorder. If 20-bit or 24-bit
is selected as the input word length, the 20-bit data will be
rounded to 16 bits, using the dither facilities built into the
DTRS recorder.
• On DA-88 DTRS recorders, the data is truncated (rather than
rounded) to 16-bit resolution.
• On the TM-D8000, use the OPTION page of the DIGITAL
I/O screen to set the word length.
You should be aware of differences in word length in the system,
and make the appropriate adjustment on the different units in the
system, referring to the unit’s documentation if necessary.
2.4 Note on metering
There are differences in the way that digital audio devices from
different manufacturers display levels on bargraph meters. In the
case of TASCAM equipment, levels over the digital full-scale level
are displayed as OVER. On other equipment, levels within 1 dB or
2 dB of full-scale may be indicated as MAX on the topmost seg-
ment of the display.
Accordingly, when transferring data between devices, you may
notice that some louder portions of the material will cause red seg-
ments of the meter on one unit to light, bun not on the other unit.
This is usually not a problem, and simply reflects the way in which
different manufacturers choose to inform you of digital signal
levels.

3 Examples
The following provide examples of simple connections which use
the IF-TAD to convert between digital audio formats.
3.1 DTRS and ADAT recorders
This simple example allows data transfer between a DTRS
recorder and an ADAT multitrack recorder:
Note that here the ADAT recorder acts as the word clock master,
and the DTRS recorder takes its clock reference from the IF-TAD
through the IF-TAD’s WORD SYNC OUT connector.
3.2 TASCAM digital mixer and ADAT LX20
recorder
In this example, the TM-D8000 or the TM-D1000 acts as the word
clock master, providing the clock through the TDIF-1 interface
and the ADAT recorder acts as the slave, receiving the clock

through the optical interface. No dedicated word clock connec-
tions are required in this setup.
However, as described earlier, the ADAT LX20 may sometimes
experience problems at first with the word clock synchronization,
but using the PITCH UP and PITCH DOWN keys to change the
pitch away from standard, and then re-set to standard pitch will
usually re-lock the word synchronization (as described in 2.2,
"Problems which may occur").
