We consider discrete Dirac systems as an alternative (to the famous SzegH{o} recurrencies and matrix orthogonal polynomials) approach to the study of the corresponding block Toeplitz matrices. We prove an analog of the Christoffel--Darboux formula and derive the asymptotic relations for the analog of reproducing kernel (using Weyl--Titchmarsh functions of discrete Dirac systems). We study also the case of rational Weyl--Titchmarsh functions (and GBDT version of the Backlund-Darboux transformation of the trivial discrete Dirac system). We show that block diagonal plus block semi-separable Toeplitz matrices appear in this case.
