A32pro Series Manual: Main Menu
In the lower field of the respective button, the measured sample frequency is displayed. The current frequency of the wordclock generator of the
A32pro (Dante) is displayed in the "INTERNAL" field. If there is no readable frequency, "- - -" appears below the field.
To the left of the displayed sample frequency, a colored dot indicates the sync status of the applied signal:
• Grey: no signal has been detected.
• Yellow: a signal has been detected but cannot be synchronized to
• Green: synchronization was performed on this signal
INTERNAL
If you set the clock source to INTERNAL, the internal clock generator of the A32pro Dante is used.
MADI, ADAT
With MADI or ADAT, the wordclock is extracted from the respective data stream and processed with the help of the digital PLL.
The MADI and ADAT data stream also works at higher frequencies, where the number of available channels may be reduced.
The buttons for MADI and ADAT show the measured wordclock frequency in the lower field, which can be helpful when troubleshooting
different digital devices. The number to the right of the sample rate display indicates which port is considered the preferred sync source by the
device. Since neither format has native recognition of SMUX/2 and SMUX/4, the measured sample rate in the SMUX/1 standard and its possible
multiples are displayed for selection.
BNC
An external wordclock can be connected directly to the device at the BNC-IN wordclock input. This is also processed by the jitter reduction circuit
before use.
DANTE
The wordclock of the DANTE device is displayed and used here. Note that if "Dante" is selected as the wordclock source, the wordclock of the
internal Brooklyn board or the "Preferred Master/Leader" on the Dante network will be used.
CLOCK
The CLOCK menu allows you to select the clock source and
sample frequency. The left screen is used to select the respective
source, the right screen enables you to select the frequency of
the wordclock in INTERNAL mode.
In all other modes except INTERNAL mode, the right screen
shows the measured wordclock frequency.
