Master Clock

In any digital system, one, and only one clock can be master. Due to the highly stable clock in the DICEII chip, Digital Konnekt x32 can be used as an excellent master clock. However, due to the DICEII JET™ (Jitter Elimination Technique) and the 4 sample rate converters it may also lock perfectly to external digital devices.

•When connected to a computer via firewire the sample rate is set according to options on the System Settings page in the TC Near control panel.

For further information please refer to the description of the System Setting page.

How to set the Master Clock

•Press WCK to lock to wordclock input

•Press ADAT to lock to the ADAT input

•Press AES/SPDIF to lock to a signal present on AES, SPDIF or Tos inputs. AES/SPDIF/TOS inputs are divided into four pairs (Toslink only three pairs), of two channels and you may lock to any of these pairs. To select which channel pair to lock to, follow the
