CHAPTER 11

SMPTE, SYNC, AND OFFSET FUNCTIONS

The buttons described in sections 11.1 through 11.5 are located under the main (right) display.

The buttons described in sections 11.6 through 11.9 are part of the Edit button group toward the M20’s lower left under the meter display and track arming buttons.

11.1CLOCK SOURCE

This switch cycles through up to seven different clock selections.

∙Internal (M20 internal clock)

∙Video

∙ADAT (if the unit is seeing a valid 9-pin ADAT Sync In connection)

∙Word Clock

∙I/O card (if one is installed in the Expansion Slot on the back panel)

∙SMPTE

∙Optical

Note: Setting the clock to Int on an ADAT slave M20 automatically selects its ADAT clock option. Also, selecting any source other than Internal when no valid clock is available automatically switches the M20 to internal clock, and flashes the currently selected clock indicator until the M20 senses a valid clock.
