Choosing the Primary Clock Device
Channel Count per Connection
Typically, you would want to choose the device that is directly connected to the
computer to be the primary clock. This clock can then be sent to other devices
in your system using either its ADAT Outputs or a BNC Wordclock Output.
The main advantage of this is that any changes in sample rate on the computer
will automatically be sent to the other devices in the setup and everything will
remain in sync.
Otherwise, you can use the SP8 as the primary clock instead. This would send
the clock to another device via its ADAT Outputs. This can only be done on
simple setups (1x EVO SP8 and 1x EVO 16 for example) but when more devices
are involved, it’s best to make use of a BNC Word Clock connection.
At sample rates of 44.1 and 48kHz, each optical connection will carry 8 ADAT
channels. When the sample rate is increased to 88.2kHz or 96kHz, this channel
count drops due to how the ADAT protocol works. At these higher sample rates,
two TOSlink cables per connection will be required to access all 8 channels.
EVO SP8 does not support 176.4 or 192kHz sample rates.
