Title: V3 Optical
Post by: John R on February 02, 2004, 01:14:09 PM

Just got this from Doug Wood:

Hi John,

Yeah, we've had a number of requests for this mod lately. As a result, we're going to put together a program for V3 users that will accommodate a TOSLINK output in place of the WC connector. However, this probably will not be available for 3-4 weeks and costs have not yet been determined. If you're interested in this, please send Jamie Krapohl a note and he'll put you on a waiting list.

Best,
Doug

    Hi Doug, there is some talk around the boards that Grace is modding the v3 to exchange the word clock for an optical out.  Any truth in this?  If so, how much would it be, and how long would it take?  I'll sign up.  If it's bunk, I'll let everyone know.
thanks,
John Rosenberg

Nice.  Email sent to Jamie, hope this finally happens.  Thanks for the update, JR.

if they're doing optical, firewire must be around the corner....

How do you figure? Tapping into the digital out to produce a second output (or was it replace the coax with the optical - either way) is trivial compared to getting a unit working with a computer over FW.

I dropped them an email, and hopefully got on "the list" for the optical out...this will be really nice ;D

I'd love to throw the optical convertor outta the chain.

Grace told me a little while ago that they have something big around the corner, so we'll see what that means.  
The Firewire idea is something that would allow for easy computer interfacing.  As for how to integrate it into the unit, i guess it's not as easy as was originally expected which is why it was never done.

" if they're doing optical, firewire must be around the corner...."

this(or usb, mlan, etc...) would be the clincher for me to buy a V3!
