AES Connections From Single Device (48 or 96 kHz)
When both AES connections are made from the same
digital device running at a 48 or 96 kHz sample rate, such
as a digital mixer, you can clock from either AES input and
turn SRC off for both inputs. In this configuration, XLR 1
and 2 must be configured for AES operation. Note that
this configuration will also work when using two different
digital devices which are clocked to the same clock (for
example, using word clock).
VENU360 Utility Settings:
Clock Source:
AES 1&2 or AES 3&4
XLR 1 Input Format: AES 1&2
SRC:
OFF
XLR 2 Input Format: AES 3&4
SRC:
OFF
VENU360 Inputs
Analog Device
Digital Device
(AES 1&2 / AES 3&4 From Same Clock)
(Optional)
AES Connections Using Sample Rate Other Than 48
or 96 kHz
When connecting digital AES sources operating at sample
rates other than 48 or 96 kHz, SRC can be used to allow
such devices to be used with the VENU360. In this type
of application, you must set the VENU360’s clock source
to one of the “Internal” options. SRC will automatically
be enabled, allowing the digital signal to be sample rate
converted to the internal clock frequency.
VENU360 Utility Settings:
Clock Source:
Internal 48 kHz or 96 kHz
XLR 1 Input Format: AES 1&2
SRC:
ON
XLR 2 Input Format: AES 3&4
SRC:
ON
VENU360 Inputs
Analog Device
Digital Device
(Sample Rate Not 48 or 96 kHz)
(Optional)
NOTE:
The VENU360 supports sample rates of 48 or 96 kHz. The AES inputs cannot sync to a clock at any sample
rate other than 48 or 96 kHz and sample rate conversion must be used with devices operating at other sample rates. When
SRC is enabled, the VENU360 supports AES sample rates from 32-192 kHz.
NOTE:
SRC is automatically enabled and the parameters become locked whenever one of the “Internal”, “BLU link”, or
“Dante” clock options are selected. Therefore, SRC can only be disabled when one of the AES inputs is configured for clock
master. This is a safety feature that prevents improper clock source settings when using the AES inputs.
