INTRODUCTION Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of the latest generation of master clock from the world's favourite clocking company. Based on years of research, Trinity is a brand new design that is the most flexible, best sounding, most stable, and easiest to use master clock available. In one box, Trinity will save you time. Imagine! One pass with multiple frequencies and formats of virtually any choice, all running in perfect synchronization.
GETTING STARTED It only takes a few moments to harness the benefits of the Isochrone Trinity. 1. Connect Trinity to an AC or DC power source via rear panel connectors 18 or 19 . 2. 1 Power on using front panel power button (1). 3. 3 to OVEN, and press to To use Trinity's internal clock, set SOURCE knob (3) confirm. If slaving to an external source, connect the master sync device to an input on the rear panel, and select the corresponding position with the 3 Press to confirm. SOURCE knob (3).
FRONT PANEL 1. Power on/off button 2. AC/DC power indicators Indicators to show whether AC or DC power is in use. 3. SOURCE Encoder Knob The source knob selects the input from which Trinity receives a timing reference. Select OVEN to use the internal oven controlled crystal oscillator, or if Trinity is connected to the 10M Atomic Clock via the rear panel Atomic Input. The other five source knob positions correspond to the remaining physical inputs on the back panel input section.
6. AUDIO Channel Edit Select Buttons These three buttons are used to select the audio channels for editing, and can be edited individually or all at the same time which, if editing all can give you a big single channel master clock utilizing all rear panel outputs. If pressed once from standard mode the current state of the channel(s) will be visible, including varispeed and pull ups/pull downs.
12. USA pull up/pull down (+/-0.1%) When in edit mode, this button toggles +/- 0.1% pull up/pull down for the channel(s) 4 being edited. To confirm an edit press the SAMPLE RATE knob (4). On the triple display for the given channel(s), the top line of the digit to the far right is lit for a pull up, and the bottom line is lit for a pull down. Notes: If 0.1% & 4% pull ups are selected, the middle and top line of the last digit on the display are lit. If 0.
REAR PANEL 18. AC Power Socket The IES AC Connection supports an input range of 90-250VAC. This enables the device to automatically accommodate mains voltages in any country. 19. DC Power Connection Speakon NL4FX socket for 12VDC 15 Watt power supply. 20. Word Clock Inputs 1 & 2 BNC connections used to accept word clock reference. 21. AES/EBU Input The AES/EBU input is a female XLR connection that accepts AES/EBU clock or audio. 22.
Appendix C Error Messages Display says: CANNOt dA CHOSEN SOUГCE Read: Cannot DA Chosen Source Reason: The Audio channel is set to DA, and SOURCE is set to either OVEN or VIDEO. Solution 1 Continue in DA mode by changing SOURCE knob to a position corresponding to a valid rear panel input. Solution 2 Leave DA mode, selecting an internal sample rate. Display says: NO IПPUt Read: No Input Reason: The Audio channel is set to DA, but there is no input on the chosen SOURCE.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION 1. Before placing the device into its operating location, consider the following: To minimize frequency instabilities, the device should not be placed near equipment generating strong magnetic fields, such as generators, transformers, etc. To prevent possible interference, observe a minimum distance of 5 centimetres (2 inches) between the cables of this device and any non-coaxial audio cables. It is all right to use the device unmounted (i.e.
CALIBRATION MODE: Trinity can be calibrated periodically by connecting it to the 10M Atomic Clock. This is not something that necessarily needs to be done very often, but if desired here's how to do it... Connect 10M to Trinity as normal. Power on both devices, and wait for 10M device to reach operating temperature. Set Trinity SOURCE knob 3 to OVEN, and be sure that the ATOMIC LED 14 is lit. Wait for 1 minute to allow the units to stabilize. Press Display button 15 , and then Varispeed button 10 .
