Word Clock
A TWINLANe network that features the RIVAGE PM series transfers not only audio and control signals, but
also word clock. On a TWINLANe network, only one DSP engine can become the clock master. If two DSP
engines are on the same network, one becomes the master and the other becomes a slave. For the master
clock on a TWINLANe network, you can select one of the following three options: the DSP engine’s internal
clock (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz), the external word clock that is input at the WORD CLOCK IN
connector on the rear panel of the master DSP engine, and the word clock that is supplied from the DSP
engine’s HY card slot. On the other hand, since the slave DSP engine will use word clock flowing through the
TWINLANe network as the clock source, you must select HY SLOT 1 for the slave DSP engine. Meanwhile,
since the I/O racks automatically use word clock flowing through the TWINLANe network as the clock source,
you do not have to specify word clock for the I/O rack.
Follow the steps below to select the clock source.
