This example shows a unique capability of the Hilo – the option to route a playback stream directly to
a record stream. This is a great tool for capturing streaming audio from any source, without
degradation.
To set this up, select the Record Device you wish to carry the signal to be recorded. In the graphic we
chose “Record 1+2”. Then un-mute the Play device carrying the audio to be recorded, in this case
“Play 1+2”.
Now when we play audio from the source, we can open a recording app, choose “Record 1+2” for
input and record that signal digitally.
5.4.3 Adapter Section
The Adapter Section is where the clock settings for the Hilo are established and monitored, as well as Trim and Digital Format
settings.
q Current Source
This displays the clock source that is active. This may differ from the selection in the
“Preferred Clock Source” section, if an invalid or offline clock source had been chosen
there.
w Measured Rate
Whether Hilo is operating off of its Internal Clock, or some External Clock Source, this
button displays the sample rate that the onboard frequency counter is measuring.
e SynchroLock
This button can turn the SynchroLock clocking system On and Off. SynchroLock is
Lynx’s proprietary technology for attenuating jitter on clock inputs and providing a
stable clock for all digital signals passed through the Hilo.
This button also shows the status of the SynchroLock clocking system. Prior to
achieving lock, the four green LED’s give an indication of the completion of various
lock stages. During this time the wide range analog PLL maintains lock.
Working: In this state SynchroLock is analyzing the input clock signal and making adjustments to frequency and phase. This process
typically takes one to two minutes to complete. The progress bar shows percentage remaining towards final lock: When phase lock has
been achieved, the Yellow “Working” indicator changes to the green “Locked” indication.
Locked: Indicates the SynchroLock system has achieved final lock to an incoming clock signal. This indicator will also appear when
the SYNC SOURCE is set to “Internal”.
Range: Indicates that the selected external clock source is not within the SynchroLock lock range.
Disabled: Indicates that SynchroLock has been turned off.
