BNC Termination Best Practices
Ensemble provides an internal termination mechanism for the BNC input. This mechanism is manipulated by the
Word Clock (WC) Input Termination checkbox located in the Maestro software’s Device Settings window (pg 43).
In general, leave Ensemble’s WC Input Termination checked at all times. This
applies even when Ensemble is being used as the master clock for other
devices.
The only time this box should be unchecked is when Ensemble is slaving to
external clock AND passing the signal through the BNC Out to another device.
Word Clock Input Termination box CHECKED:
Ensemble is Master, sending it’s internal WC to external devices
Ensemble is WC Slave to external clock and is the
last device in the chain
Word Clock Input Termination box UNCHECKED:
Ensemble is slaving to external clock AND passing
WC on to another device.
