OPERATING THE MC-7

REFERENCE

CLK MULTIPLIERS Menus

These both menus are offering access to the whole functionality of your

MC-7.

The »REFERENCE« menu contains of two LED raws. With help of the

first, left LED raw you select the input reference for distribution or signal

conversion. The second LED raw within this menu signalizes special

functionalities which can be added to the distribution or conversion

process. Therefore both menus act together in different combinations.

The »CLK MULTIPLIERS« menus allow for adding clock rate multipliers

individually to the 4 Word Clock output pairs as well as to the AES3/11 and

S/P-DIF outputs. Their numberings are aligned to the output numbers.

The menus »STATUS« and »CLOCK IN« are for control of the MC-7‘s

operation status only. They are not accessable for adjustments.

General Operation Procedure

The MC-7 menu is strictly organized aligned to generally usual handling

procedures when inserting such a box into your studio set-up. So, you can

split up all of the necessary adjustments in tow simple steps, which leads to

the following three questions for the basic operation of your MC-7:

1) Which is my reference signal to be distributed → REFERENCE?

2) Do I need increased output clock rates? → CLK MULTIPLIERS?

After these general decisions are made, your MC-7 is configured for optimal

operation in your set-up! Due to the fact that the system monitors for

useful function combinations, maloperation is not possible.

So, let‘s have a look to the individual functions on the next pages.

S/P-DIF op = S/P-DIF coaxial

AES3/11 = AES3 or AES11

WCLK = Word Clock or so-called Super Clock

S/P-DIF co = S/P-DIF optical

REFERENCE

256 =

256 of the reference signal‘s base clock rate

2 =

2 of the reference signal‘s base clock rate

1 =

1 of the reference signal‘s base clock rate

4 =

4 of the reference signal‘s base clock rate
