I'm a new user, sorry for my bad english...
I hope someone could kindly help me to understand the "real" behavior of 2408 mk2/mk3 in standalone mode, in particular performing TDIF to Adat / Analog conversion.
I know that the interface (all gen. ) works that way, with some routing limitation (no bi-directional)
Question: is possible to route 16 ch through 2 Tdif bank (from my Tascam dm3200) to Adat AND analog outs of the Motu, simultaneously?
I mean I need to convert 8 TDIF ch. to ADAT (for multitrack recording with another interface) while I send the other 8 TDIF ch. to Analog outs, for live sound monitoring.
As far I know, it seems this simultaneous conversion should work with a single bank: 8 Tdif signals are sent to Adat AND Analog outs in standalone mode. If I select one Tdif bank as source, I should get this 8 ch. in both adat and analog format - I found this in a couple of forums (...any confirmation??)
Assuming this is correct, I'm wondering what's result if I connect 2 Tdif cables from my DM3200 to that Motu!?
The purpose is to expand physical outs of the desk with 8 extra analog and 8 extra adat sends, without adding Tascam expansion cards, and using a laptop (so no PCI 424 = no CueMix...)
Any help?
I quote a list of available input sources from an old post:

You can select the following input banks as your source.
01. ADAT input bank A
02. ADAT input bank B
03. ADAT input bank C
04. ADAT input banks A-C
05. TDIF input bank A
06. TDIF input bank B
07. TDIF input bank C
08. TDIF input banks A-C
09. Analog input (wired to bank C)
10. SPDIF inputs (wired to bank C)
Maybe selecting as source 08. TDIF (A-C) I could get this result?
Thank you and merry christmas from Italy!
