Audio Monitoring From Decklink HD Pro PCIe

[Adam Levine]

After much struggling with this over a year ago, I found that the best solution is the Tascam TM-D1000 digital mixer, which is no longer made, but there always seem to be some on eBay for $350-450. Make sure you get one that has the upgrade card that provides extrad SPDIF I/O

First off… I swear to god I used the search tool before posting this, however, I must not have had a peramiters wide enough. However, I am worried about the size. Is there something out there that is a little smaller?

Thanks
Cannon.

It fits nicely on a rack, if that’s the issue. You need to get the rack ears for that too.

I am not looking for something rack mounted. I am really thinking simple. Almost a digital volume controller for my out going SPDIF cable. Has anyone thought about or used this…

Adam- Thanks for your imput but I really think that it’s overkill for my needs right now.

Thanks

After futher review I believe this is still not what I need. I believe the m-box units will not work as a stand alone. All I need at it’s very core right now is a two channel volume nob that accepts SPDIF, won’t have sync issues and will maintain accuracy.

Thoughts?

try the behringer ultramatch 2496 convertor and a small mixer ( minimon800 ) for level control.
also check out the new behringer MS20 and MS40 active speakers: they have besides analog input also sp/dif digital inputs.
another solution are the edifier S2.1d version active speakers : https://www.edifier.ca/products/s2141/s21d.html . They sound very good for their price and there is a remote control, but they dont have headphone outputs and even though they also have analog inputs, these dont work together with the digital input.

I am starting to settle on a Behring SRC2496 (thanks for the suggestion), I don’t own a rack so this is going to have to be hidden or set on the desktop. Fore the mixer I am thinking some version of the Behringer EURORACK.
