MOTU FIREWIRE AUDIO CONSOLE

Yo u s h o u l d also use this setting if you have a MIDI

Timepiece AV, which allows you to drive your

entire system from the transport controls of your

audio software.

Yo u c o u l d also use ADAT sync to continuously

resolve the Traveler to SMPTE time code, video,

and word clock via a synchronizer like the MOTU

MIDI Timepiece AV. Word clock can accomplish

the same thing.

For further details, see “Sample-accurate ADAT

sync” on page 30, “Sample-accurate ADAT sync

with no synchronizer” on page 31 and “Syncing to

video and/or SMPTE time code using a

synchronizer” on page 33.

ADAT optical

The ADAT optical clock source setting refers to the

clock provided by the Traveler’s optical input,

when it is connected to an ADAT optical device.

This setting can be used to slave the Traveler

directly to the optical input connection. Most of

the time, you can set up a better operating scenario

that uses one of the other synchronization options.

However, there may be occasions when you have an

ADAT optical compatible device that has no way of

synchronizing digitally to the Traveler or an

external synchronizer such as the Digital

Timepiece. In this case, the ADAT Optical clock

source setting lets you slave the Traveler to the

device itself via its digital input to the Traveler.

If the ADAT Optical setting does not appear in the

menu, it means that the Traveler’s optical input is

currently either turned off or set to the TOSLink

format. In either case, choose the ADAT optical

format from the Optical input menu (Figure 5-1 on

page 40).

This setting is also useful if you just need to make a

simple, click-free digital transfer between the

Traveler and a nother device — where a time code

reference and shared transport control are not

needed — without having to set up an elaborate

synchronization scenario.

For further details about this setting, see “Syncing

optical devices” on page 34.

TOSLink

The TOSLink clock source setting refers to the

clock provided an optical S/PDIF device connected

to the Traveler’s optical input. This setting can be

used to slave the Traveler directly to the optical

input connection. Most of the time, you can set up

a better operating scenario that uses one of the

other synchronization options. However, there

may be occasions when you have an TOSLink-

compatible device that has no way of

synchronizing digitally to the Traveler or an

external synchronizer such as the Digital

Timepiece. In this case, the TOSLink clock source

setting lets you slave the Traveler to the other

device via the Traveler’s optical input.

If the TOSLink setting does not appear in the
