Hey mates,
I am looking for a TDIF Interface. Is there any TDIF 2 Firewire Interface out there?
Or something like a TDIF 2 SP/DIF or ADAT Lightbridge?
Because I would love to use the AD/DA of a SSL Alpha Link MADI TX (TDIF) on my Macbook Pro, but don't know if there is a small and cheap Intrface available for this application.
There is one RME and one Motu Interface, but they are 19" and I don't wanna carry this along on gigs ...
cheers!
Thomas

or does somebody know a MADI 2 Firewire Interface?
Re: TDIF Interfaces??
optX, This is the first I've ever heard of TDIF... maybe others here too... What do you use that for?
This might be a better question suited to ask on gearslutz...
You also might try just searching a retail website. I'm not sure where you live... but at least you can get an idea for what is out there.

Re: TDIF Interfaces??
hey hydrogen,
thank`s for your nice reply! I`ve posted it on gs already =) I am living in Austria (between Germany and Italy), so a lot of my equipment is bought from Thomann (same language makes ordering per tel easier)
I`ve heard of TDIF just some days ago too for the first time. It`s similar to ADAT, developed by Tascam regarding to their consoles. It used to be something cool 10yrs ago, but nowadays nobody`s talking about that digital protocol anymore ...
I`ve been offered a SSL Alpha Link TX + RME HDSP MADI Card for about half of the new price, perfect for my 24chn console and for recording drums. So that`s primarly what I would be using it for. No problem with the Win PC due to its PCIe Slot. But I am doing all my electronic stuff on my MBP and would love to use the nice AD/DA of the Alpha Link there.
I just found out theres a RME Madi Face on the market, but hey, it`s €1345 (about $2000) ... too expensive.
But theres the following solution : Getting a Tascam IF-TAD used (TDIF 2 ADAT Converter) and getting a decent and not too expensive firewire Interface with ADAT I/O.
Ok, seems to be the only way for getting this Interace to work on my macbook =)
cheers mate!
