Word Clock (Layla3G only)
Next to the S/PDIF ports on Layla3G’s back panel are the
Word Clock
connectors. These connectors allow you to synchronize one Layla3G to another
Layla3G, or to other digital audio devices equipped with a Word Clock connector.
The Word Clock I/O uses a BNC connector. As with the S/PDIF I/O, a shielded
75-ohm (RG-59) coaxial video cable should be used. BNC connectors have been
widely used in the electronics industry for both video and computer networking.
However, computer networks use 50-ohm (RG-58) coaxial cables and not the 75-
ohm (RG-59) cable used by video. For reliable word clock operation, use only
video grade cables with Layla3G.
