CONTROL ELEMENTS
iCLOCK dp Front Panel
1 DISPLAY
All parameter and function settings are controlled using the display and
the four cursor buttons.
2 + 3 STATUS Indicators
The three blue indicators show the lock status of the currently active clock
source. The five red indicators show important system statuses of iCLOCK.
4 CURSOR Buttons
All parameter and function settings are controlled using the four cursor
buttons and the display.
iCLOCK Rear Panel
1 + 2 INPUT1, INPUT2
These universal input terminals allow for applying various external clock
signals for synchronizing the internal clock synthesizer. All clock formats
supported by the system can be received at any of these inputs. These two
inputs and INPUT 3 can be synchronized by the synthesizer in a freely confi-
gurable sequence. The impedance of each input is 75
Ω and can be switched
off internally for chaining devices, see the »Switching-off the Termination
of the universal Clock Inputs« section in the appendix.
3 ALARM OUT
The iC-ALARM output is optionally available (item no. 8005-065). Refer to
the EXTENSIONS chapter for a short overview.
4 INPUT3 (AES/EBU)
A balanced digital AES/EBU signal can be applied to this input for synchro-
nizing the internal clock synthesizer. The signal must comply with
AES3 – 1992 (R1997) or AES11 – 1997.
Both input terminals are isolated from
ground to avoid interference from the
connected clock line. This applies to all clock
references except video! Is a video signal
selected as reference the corresponding
input will be connected to ground automa-
tically.
If this does not comply with the electrical
studio purposes, the ground connections of
both inputs could be linked permanently by
setting jumpers on the mainboard. Refer to
the »Connecting the universal Clock Inputs
to Ground« section in the appendix for a
short instruction.
Refer to the OPERATIONS chapter for more
information.
