Output Format
Word
The word clock output signal usually equals the current sample rate. Selecting Single Speed
causes the output signal to always stay within the range of 32 kHz to 48 kHz. So at 96 kHz and
192 kHz sample rate, the output word clock is 48 kHz.
Optical
The optical TOSLINK output can operate as ADAT or SPDIF output. The Channel Status is
fixed to Consumer state.
Note
: The optical input detects the incoming format automatically.
SPDIF coax.
The coaxial SPDIF output can have the Channel Status Consumer or Professional. For further
details please refer to chapter 21.2.
Clock Mode
Sample Rate
Used to set the current sample rate. This is the same setting as in the Audio MIDI Setup, just
added here for your convenience.
Clock Source
The unit can be configured to use its own clock (Internal = Master), or one of the input signals
(Word, ADAT, SPDIF coax. = Slave). If the selected source isn't available, the unit will change
to the next available one (this functionality is called AutoSync). If none is available then the in-
ternal clock is used. The current clock source is displayed below.
Input Status
Indicates for each input (Word, optical, SPDIF coax.) whether there is a valid signal (Lock, No
Lock), or if there is a valid and synchronous signal (Sync). The third column shows the sample
frequency detected by the hardware (coarse recognition, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz etc.). See
also chapter 37.1.
Options
DSP – EQ+D for Record
Switches EQ and Dynamics of all input channels into the recording path. In case Loopback has
been activated the EQ and Dynamics of the Output channel are within the recording path. See
also chapter 27.5.
WC In - Termination
Checking this option terminates the word clock input internally with 75 Ohms.
Limit Bandwidth (only for the FireWire driver)
Allows to reduce the amount of bandwidth used on the FireWire bus. See chapter 37.4.
All channels (default) activates all 18 input and output channels.
Analog +SPDIF + ADAT 1-4 disables channels 15–18 (from ADAT).
Analog + SPDIF activates all 8 analog channels plus SPDIF.
Analog activates only the eight analog channels.
