 Audio Clock Distribution Amplifier
Description
The CLKx6 is used to distribute sync information. In AES mode
the unit can provide a word clock or super clock format to the 6
parallel outputs. In word clock mode, the input signal is mapped
directly to the outputs through a series of buffers.
Switches
The CLKx6 has one switch placed on the front panel that
selects either the WORD/SUPER clock or AES input.
LEDS
SIGNAL: In AES mode, the signal present detector drives an
LED when there is a lock on the AES input. In word clock mode,
the signal present detector is driven when there is activity on
the WORD CLOCK input.
POWER LED indicates AC power is present.
Connectors
WORD/SUPER CLOCK INPUT is a coaxial BNC connector with
nominal input impedance of 75 Ohms. Internal termination is
provided with a jumper.
AES INPUT is a 3-pin XLR connector with nominal input imped-
ance of 110 Ohms. Internal termination is provided, as per the
AES3 spec. The data can be either AES3 or AES11 (AES3 with
no audio data).
POWER: Supplied by external Lucid PS-3, PS-3E, or PS-3J.
CLOCK OUTPUTS are coaxial BNC connectors with
nominal impedance of 20 Ohms.
Jumper Settings
J3 is used to select a word clock or super clock
output format derived from the AES input signal.
