Soundscape Mixpander
Page 90 of 109
When AES/EBU-A 1-2, AES/EBU-A 3-4, AES/EBU-A 5-6 or AES/EBU-A 7-8 is selected, the SSL
Soundscape hardware is slaved to the AES Clock signal received via the corresponding AES/EBU
input pair of the XLogic Alpha-Link unit’s eight-channel AES/EBU connector A.
ADAT A, ADAT B, ADAT C
These options are available when the SSL Soundscape Mixpander is connected to an XLogic
Alpha-Link MADI AX or Alpha-Link AX.
When ADAT A, ADAT B or ADAT C is selected, the SSL Soundscape hardware is slaved to the
ADAT Clock signal received via the corresponding ADAT Toslink™ input connector of the XLogic
Alpha-Link unit.
WordClock
When “WordClock” is selected the SSL Soundscape hardware is slaved to the WordClock signal
received at the BNC WordClock input connector of the XLogic Alpha-Link.
NOTE:
For
all
variants
of
WordClock,
the
Sample
Rate
of
the
card
is
not
automatically
updated
to
match
the
incoming
Sample
Rate.
Instead
it
remains
set
to
the
current
value.
It
should
therefore
be
updated
manually.
FrameClock 0°, FrameClock 90°
When “FrameClock 0°” is selected the SSL Soundscape hardware locks to the "FrameClock" signal
received via the XLogic Alpha Link’s WordClock input connector. “FrameClock 90°” must be
selected to lock to the FrameClock signal supplied by certain devices whose Audio signals and
clock signals are out of phase (typically for MADI or ADAT SMUX signals).
NOTE:
The
“Internal”
setting
can
be
selected
for
instance
when
you
want
to
play
back
or
record
signals
at
your
chosen
sample
rate,
when
you
are
using
the
card
as
the
“Master
Device”
in
a
multiple
unit
setup
(or
as
a
master
with
other
equipment,
e.g.,
another
Alpha
‐
Link
unit
or
a
digital
mixing
console)
or
when
you
do
not
want
to
use
the
Master
Clock
from
an
external
source.
NOTE:
For
all
external
Master
Clock
settings
(i.e.,
when
the
SSL
Soundscape
hardware
operates
as
a
Master
Clock
slave
locked
to
a
signal
received
via
one
of
the
XLogic
Alpha
‐
Link
inputs),
if
no
suitable
Master
Clock
signal
is
received
via
the
relevant
input,
the
Status
Bar
will
indicate
a
“Clock
lock
error”,
as
described
in
the
“Status
Bar”
chapter.
In
this
case,
check
that
the
external
device
is
correctly
set
to
transmit
an
appropriate
signal.
