X16 MADI Merge Unit Revision MM2006-1
Wordclock Slave.
When a valid wordclock signal is received, the X16 will generate its
own clean internal synchronisation clock from the incoming refer-
ence in order to improve overall performance.
If the incoming wordclock does not equate to the sample rate select-
ed via the X16 front panel then the X16 will not output any audio and
a visual warning will be presented on the front panel. See
3.5.5 X16
LED Error Indication
A 75 Ohm termination switch is provided adjacent to the Wordclock
Master/Slave BNC connector. This should be enabled if an external
wordclock source is not passed on to another device.
■ Four BNC Wordclock Outputs
These are buffered wordclock outputs to be used primarily for the
purpose of connecting up to four M16s, or other MADI devices, in a
star topology to improve synchronisation performance. In slave
mode, the four BNC outputs follow the incoming wordclock reference
signal, while in master mode, the four BNC outputs follow the main
internally generated wordclock signal.
