3 – Connections

NOTE

High-speed connections cannot be made using the TAS- CAM DM-24 digital mixing console. They may not be supported by other equipment, and you should check carefully in the documentation of all the components of your system to ensure that this is a valid option.

Only the analog and AES/EBU connections and option cards support 96k operation on the DS-M7.1.

Inverting the word clock

In some cases, the polarity of the word clock received at the WORD IN connector may be inverted relative to what the DS-M7.1 expects (since no industry stan- dard has been universally adopted). In this case, you may need to invert the polarity of the clock so that it syncs accurately with the other devices in the setup.

1Press the SYSTEM key, and use the cursor keys until a screen similar to the following appears:

[SYSTEM]<>

2 Switch the WordIN parameter between Normal and Reverse.

Word clock errors

In the event of a word clock error, the display back- light flashes, the output is muted, and the screen

shows [SYSTEM] *n where n is a number rep- resenting the error, as explained below:

No master clock.

Check the connections between the DS-M7.1 and the clock master, and check the set-

 

 

tings on the clock master to ensure that it is actually outputting a word sync signal.

1Master clock out of range (44.1 kHz)

2Master clock out of range (48 kHz)

3Master clock out of range (88.2 kHz)

4Master clock out of range (96 kHz)

Check the settings of the clock master, and make sure that it is within ±6% of the stated nominal frequency
