NUENDO AUDIOLINK 96
English – 32
All the ADAT optical
inputs in the Nu-
endo Audiolink 96
as well as the S/P-
DIF input will work
simultaneously. Be-
cause there is no in-
put selector
however, the
Audiolink 96 has to
be told which of the
signals is the sync
reference (a digital
device can only be
clocked from a sin-
gle source). This is
why the system has been equipped with automatic clock source selec-
tion, which adopts the first available input with a valid digital signal as
the clock reference input. The input currently used as sync reference is
shown in the 'Sync Ref' status field, together with the current sample
frequency.
Via 'Pref Sync Ref' (pre-
ferred synchronization
reference) a preferred
input can be defined.
As long as the card sees
a valid signal there, this
input will be desig-
nated as the sync
source, otherwise the
other inputs will be
scanned in turn. If none
of the inputs are receiv-
ing a valid signal, the
card automatically
switches clock mode to
‘Master’.
