OPERATING THE MC-7
REFERENCE + CLK
MULTIPLIERS
Menus
These both menus are offering access to the whole functionality of your
MC-7.
The »REFERENCE« menu contains of two LED raws. With help of the
first, left LED raw you select the input reference for distribution or signal
conversion. The second LED raw within this menu signalizes special
functionalities which can be added to the distribution or conversion
process. Therefore both menus act together in different combinations.
The »CLK MULTIPLIERS « menus allow for adding clock rate multipliers
individually to the 4 Word Clock output pairs as well as to the AES3/11 and
S/P-DIF outputs. Their numberings are aligned to the output numbers.
The menus »STATUS« and »CLOCK IN « are for control of the MC-7‘s
operation status only. They are not accessable for adjustments.
General Operation Procedure
The MC-7 menu is strictly organized aligned to generally usual handling
procedures when inserting such a box into your studio set-up. So, you can
split up all of the necessary adjustments in tow simple steps, which leads to
the following three questions for the basic operation of your MC-7:
1) Which is my reference signal to be distributed → REFERENCE?
2) Do I need increased output clock rates? → CLK MULTIPLIERS ?
After these general decisions are made, your MC-7 is configured for optimal
operation in your set-up! Due to the fact that the system monitors for
useful function combinations, maloperation is not possible.
So, let‘s have a look to the individual functions on the next pages.
15
S/P-DIF op = S/P-DIF coaxial
AES3/11 = AES3 or AES11
WCLK = Word Clock or so-called Super Clock
S/P-DIF co = S/P-DIF optical
REFERENCE
x 256 = x 256 of the reference signal‘s base clock rate
x 2 = x 2 of the reference signal‘s base clock rate
x 1 = x 1 of the reference signal‘s base clock rate
x 4 = x 4 of the reference signal‘s base clock rate
