CONTROL ELEMENTS AND TERMINALS
MC-6 Front Panel
1 POWER
This red LED lights up when the unit is switched on with the rear panel
POWER switch.
2 MENU
The push-button selects one of the available function menus.
3 SELECT
Use this push-button to select a function within a specific function menu.
4 MODE + AUDIO
IN
This function menu allows to adjust all available conversion modes (LED
line »MODE«) in combination with the corresponding digital audio formats
(LED line »AUDIO IN«) .
5 REFERENCE
This function menu allows to select the master clock reference for synchro-
nization of the format conversion section as well as the SRCs.
6 STATUS
This menu indicates various signal statuses of the incoming master clock
reference signal and the digital audio signal. For details see page 25.
7 REF CLOCK IN
This menu indicates the clock rates of the incoming digital audio signal or
of the master clock reference signal. For details see page 25.
MC-6 Rear Panel
1 AES3id OUT + WCLK OUT
The first output above transmits an AES3id digital audio stereo signal in
compliance with the AES3id–2001 standard. The second output below
transmits a low-jitter Word Clock signal based on the selected external refe-
rence clock or the internal clock basis. The impedances of both connectors
are 75 Ω (BNC connectors, female).
2 S/P-DIF OUT
These two S/P-DIF outputs, available as optical (»OP«) and coaxial (»CO«)
interfaces, transmit an optical S/P-DIF and an unbalanced electrical S/P-DIF
digital audio or blank frame signal in compliance with the IEC 60958 stand-
ard. The coaxial interface impedance is 75 Ω. (cinch connector), the optical
interface offers a Toshiba Toslink
TM
connector, EIAJ standard.
3 AES3 OUT
This AES/EBU output transmits a transformer-balanced electrical AES3 or
AES11 signal in compliance with AES3 –1992 (R1997) standard. The output
impedance is 110 Ω (XLR connector, male).
