Setup...
This section contains the most frequently adjusted parameters.
Reference Clock
This very important item determines where
the digital sample clock is derived from. The
options include the
internal
reference
oscillators, the
AES-spdif
external clock from
the RCA (Phono) socket on the rear panel, or
(where a digital board is fitted) one of the
input signals from the digital board (such as
Digital 1+2
) or
Word Clock
.
Timeline
All Broadcast WAV (BWAV) files include a timecode stamp, which exactly
marks the time of the first sample within the file. The BlackBox Player can
play back Broadcast WAV files synchronised to a source of Linear Timecode
(
LTC
), MIDI timecode (
MTC
), or to the
real-time
clock built into the unit
itself.
The Player can only read timecode (i.e. act as a timecode Slave) it cannot
generate timecode (i.e. act as a timecode Master). The BlackBox does not
chase timecode or lock to it.
Sample rates

44.1kHz
,
48kHz
,
