Synchronisation
Sync To Wordclock
SRC sync to an external wordclock is indicated by illumination of the ‘WK’ front panel LED. The clock source should be connected to the SYNC IN connector (a BNC socket) on the rear panel. Nominal frequency is 48 kHz 50ppm, and clock pulses should be of 5 V amplitude,

Sync To The SDI Inputs
Any of the four SDI inputs may be used to reference the audio outputs. Each two channels of embedded audio in an SDI stream is essentially compatible with an AES3 word format at a sample frequency of 48 kHz and thus this frequency may be extracted and used as the SRC wordclock in the same way as an AES3 sync source. If one or more pairs of audio channels in an SDI signal is carrying
Use the derived wordclock output as the master sync reference for downstream equipment.
Note: If using this method, it is important to consider how the remaining three SDI sources synchronise in relation to the sync source. If the inputs are asynchronous then they should have their SRCs set to ON. This ensures that the audio content will synchronise to the referenced SDI input.

Clock Outputs
A reference clock output is available at the rear panel WK OUT connector in the form of a 48 kHz clock signal, of 5 V amplitude,
