Connecting a word clock device as slave
In most situations, you’ll want to connect your
word clock device as a slave to the Digital
Timepiece as shown below in Figure 3-17.
Figure 3-17: Connecting a word clock device. In this example, SMPTE
time code is being fed to the word clock slave device via the Digital
Timepiece’s LTC SMPTE output. Alternately, you could feed MIDI Time
Code (MTC) from the Digital Timepiece’s MIDI OUT.
Connecting multiple word clock devices
If you have more than one word clock device, there
are several possibilities for connecting them to the
Digital Timepiece. First, the Digital Timepiece
actually provides two word clock outputs: a WORD
1x OUT and a WORD 256x OUT, and it is possible
to use both at the same time. For example, you
could connect a stand-alone hard disk recorder to
the word 1x output and a Digidesign Pro Tools™
system to the word 256x output. (Just remember,
only Digidesign hardware will work with the 256x
output.)
But what if you already have a device connected to
the 1x word clock output, such as a hard disk
recorder, and you’d like to connect a second word
clock device, such as a digital mixer? In this
scenario, you can try chaining the second device to
the first, connecting the word clock output of the
first to the word clock input of the second. Keep in
mind, however, that some devices don’t support
this very well. For best results, try to keep the cable
lengths as short as possible.
