2.5 AES
Each of the 28 AES inputs can run at a different sample rate. The following rules clarify
how the sample rate of the AES output signal is derived:
• Within each bank, all AES outputs operate at the sample rate of the lowest-numbered
AES input that is locked. For example, if the first bank (channels 1–8) has a 44.1 kHz
AES signal connected to inputs 1/2 and a 48 kHz input connected to inputs 5/6, then
AES output channels 1–8 all run at 44.1 kHz.
• If AES inputs are not present on a bank, but another Format A device (i.e., TDIF)
is connected and locked, the AES outputs run at the Format A sample rate for that bank.
• If a bank has neither AES inputs nor a third-party device, the AES outputs run at the
Format B sample rate.
• If the MADI switch is On, the AES outputs run at the Format A MADI sample rate.
Furthermore, these rules can be modified by DIP switch #6: AES Master/Slave (see
DIP Switches on page 16).
• If the switch is set to Master (up; the default position), the rules stated above apply.
• If the switch is set to Slave (down), the AES outputs never run at the AES input
sample rate. Instead, they follow the rules above assuming an AES input is not
present. This mode should be used to lock the connected AES device to the AES
output of the FC726.
