BNC

(BNC Button). In PCM mode, this controls the operation of the BNC button.

Input

Configures the BNC input connectors as a data

 

input. Press the BNC button to select it.

RefCl

Configures the BNC word clock in (Clk In)

 

connector as a reference clock input. Press the

 

BNC button to sync the unit to the Word clock

 

while taking data from one or more of the AES

 

inputs. The BNC LED will light, in addition to the

 

LED(s) for the data source. Press the BNC button

 

again to sync to the data input instead.

This mode of operation enable the unit to sync to one clock source and rapidly switch between other synchronous sources without going through a PLL locking sequence. It might be used, for example, in A/B comparisons or in locking to a house sync, just taking data from AES feeds.

If the unit is already locked to SDIF or DSD, the RefCl option is disabled.

BNC O

(BNC Output). In PCM mode, this sets the format of the BNC Out connector (Clk Out).

SDIF

Sends out SDIF Word Clock on the Clk Out

 

connector. The unit must be locked to generate an

 

output.

AES

Sends out AES3 coded data at TTL levels, at up to

 

96 kS/s on the Clk Out connector. This works

 

when the unit is locked to Single AES, SDIF or

 

BNC - AES input.

Panel

 

(Panel Control). Sets the operation of the Phase and De-Emphasisbuttons.

Phase

Sets the two buttons to their standard functions.

Vol

The two buttons act as a digital volume control.

 

Phase reduces the Volume in 0.1dB steps, while

De-Emphasisincreases the Volume. The change accelerates if a button is held down. The range is 0dB to –20dB.
