Pressing the selection button

will cycle through the available

sample rates.

Attempting to change the sample rate on a module that is not the Clock

Master will cause the Sample Rate and Clock Master LEDs to flash to indicate

the error.

Sample Rates and A-Net Slots

Changing the network sample rate has a direct effect on the availability of

A‑Net Slots. For example, setting the sample rate to 96kHz makes only 32

Slots available, numbers 1 through 32. Slot numbers above 32 are no longer

available.

If at the 48kHz sample rate an input module such as the 6416dio is set to the

Slot range starting at 33 or 49 and has active channels, these channels will be

deactivated when the sample rate changes to 96kHz. These Slot assignments

no longer exist in the network.

Clock Errors

Pro64 can recover from the temporary loss of an external Word Clock or AES3

reference clock when the network is set to sync to an external source. If at

any time the external clock source becomes unavailable, the network will

temporarily switch to its internal clock, at the standard Pro64 sample rate

closest to that which was provided by the external source.

When an external clock error occurs, the Network LED in the Clock Source

section of the 6416dio interface will light solid. The LED for the external

clock source, either Word Clock or AES In (1/2), will flash to indicate that the

external clock source has been lost.

If the external clock source becomes available again after a failure, its

associated LED in the Clock Source section of the interface will light solid and

the Network LED will go out.
