There should only be one master clock in your studio synchronizing all your gear. Attempting to daisy-chain your master clock signal through multiple devices will only result in sync problems like clicks and pops or jitter-colored digital sound. This is where the Isochrone DA comes to the rescue by providing a large number of buffered outputs, so you can feed the the master clock to all of your gear individually. It is not enough to simply distribute the clock signal.
1 2 3 4 5 6 6 Front Panel Front Panel 1 Power Switch 2 Source Selector Designates which input receives the clock distributed to the DA outputs. 3 Lock and Signal LEDs When the Signal LED is lit, it verifies that the input chosen by the Source Selector is receiving clock. The Lock LED verifies that the DA is properly locked to the incoming clock, and the incoming clock is at a supported frequency (30 kHz- 202 kHz). 4 Frequency Display Displays the sample rate received & distributed by the DA.
6 Alternate Sample Rate Selector for Word Clock outputs 7 and 8. Word clock outputs 7 and 8 are capable of outputting frequencies different from the clock received by the DA. The first five settings select frequencies that are multiples of the incoming clock. The final setting, 256 WC, configures the corresponding output to generate 256 FS Clock (sometimes referred to as Superclock), a protocol used by some Digidesign components. A red LED is present above each knob.

As a result, the OCX automatically accommodates a full range of voltages, allowing safe use in any country. 8 S/PDIF input and S/PDIF thru The S/PDIF in is an RCA connection that accepts clock via Coaxial S/PDIF The S/PDIF thru will reamplify and output any audio contained in signal received by the S/PDIF input.
