With help of the clock multipliers (»CLK

MULTIPLIERS

«) you can add a clock

rate multiplication factor to each pair of clock outputs. This is possible in
any state of operation of your MC-7. The numbering of the multipliers is
aligned to the output numbers. Select the prefered output with the MENU
key and choose the needed multiplication factor by pressing the SELECT key
accordingly. The factory default is set to x 1.

The above mentioned front panel view shows the following adjustments as
example:

Word Clock output pair no. 1 is set to x 1
Word Clock output pair no. 2 is set to x 2
Word Clock output pair no. 3 is set to x 256
Word Clock output pair no. 4 is set to x 4
AES3/11 output no. 5 is set to x 4
S/P-DIF outputs nos. 6 are set to x 2

»CLK

MULTIPLIER

s« 1 – 4

For every Word Clock output pair, nos. 1 – 4, are 4 multipliers available:

x 1, x 2, x 4, x 256

The multiplication functions »x 1, x 2, x 4« multiply all available basis clocks
up to the highest possible Word Clock rate of 768.0kHz (192.0kHz basis clock
x 4).

The function »x 256« refers only to the basis clocks of 44.1kHz and 48.0kHz
of every incoming reference clock signal to output the so-called Super Clock
rates, necessary for older digidesign ProTools™ MX systems. If a reference
signal with a different clock rate, like e.g. 96,0kHz or 176.4kHz, comes in,
the system identifies the included base clock rate and sets the multiplier
accordingly to output only 44.1kHz x 256 or 48.0kHz x 256. The factory
default is set at x 1.

»CLK

MULTIPLIER

« 5

For the AES3/11 output no. 5 are 3 multipliers available:

x 1, x 2, x 4

Due to the maximum possible AES3/11 clock frequency of 192.0kHz, the
functions of these multipliers are depending on the basis clock rate of the
incoming reference signal. The factory default is set at x 1.

Example 1
The incoming basis clock runs at 32.0kHz, 44.1kHz or 48.0kHz:

x 1:

AES3/11 output runs at 32.0kHz, 44.1kHz or 48.0kHz

x 2:

AES3/11 output runs at 64.0kHz, 88.2kHz or 96.0kHz

x 4:

AES3/11 output runs at 128.0kHz, 176.4kHz or 192.0kHz

Example 2
The incoming basis clock runs at 88.2kHz or 96.0kHz:

x 1:

AES3/11 output runs at 88.2kHz or 96.0kHz

x 2:

AES3/11 output runs at 176.4kHz or 192.0kHz

x 4:

AES3/11 output runs at 176.4kHz or 192.0kHz

Example 3
The incoming basis clock runs at 176.4kHz or 192.0kHz:

x 1:

AES3/11 output runs at 176.4kHz or 192.0kHz

x 2:

AES3/11 output runs at 176.4kHz or 192.0kHz

x 4:

AES3/11 output runs at 176.4kHz or 192.0kHz

Generatable Clock Rates

For a better understanding of the efficiency
of the MC-7‘s clock multiplier, please refer
to the tables »Generatable Clock Rates« on
pages 23-25. There you can see which clock
rates and clock signals the MC-7 is able to
convert and to output simultaneously.
