Lynx Mixer Reference
Rate
Displays the current sample rate of the AES16. When the AES16 is being used for recording or playback
by an application, the rate shown is the rate set by the application. Applications are always the “master” in
terms of setting the sample clock rate of the card.
The rate can also be adjusted manually using the adjacent pull down control. The rate will change only is
the card is idle (not recording and playing). Manual adjustments are not required if the card is being used
with an application.
WideWire In
Allows selection of AES/EBU dual-wire mode on ALL digital inputs for compatibility with legacy devices.
Dual-wire mode is enabled when the check box is checked; otherwise the inputs operate in single-wire
mode. Dual-wire mode is operational for sample rates greater than 50kHz. The number of available input
channels is reduced to eight when this mode is active. Refer to Section 7.5 AES/EBU Dual-wire operation
for more information.
WideWire Out
Allows selection of AES/EBU dual-wire mode on ALL digital output for compatibility with legacy devices.
Dual-wire mode is enabled when the check box is checked; otherwise the outputs operate in single-wire
mode. Dual-wire mode is operational for sample rates greater than 50kHz. The number of available output
channels is reduced to eight when this mode is active. Refer to Section 7.5 AES/EBU Dual-wire operation
for more information.
SynchroLock
Shows the status of SynchroLock clocking system.
SynchroLock is Lynx Studio Technology’s proprietary technology for attenuating jitter on clock inputs and
providing a stable clock for all digital signals passed through the AES16. The SynchroLock status window
and LED indicators show the current state of the SynchroLock system as described below. Prior to
achieving lock, the four green LED’s give an indication of the completion of various lock stages. During
this time the wide range analog PLL maintains lock. For more information on SynchroLock, refer to the
Section 5.3 SynchroLock™.
Working
: In this state SynchroLock is analyzing the input clock signal and making adjustments to
frequency and phase. This process typically takes two to three minutes to complete. The four LED’s show
progress towards final lock: One green LED denotes frequency lock to 3.2 ppm accuracy, two LED’s
denote frequency lock to 1.6 ppm accuracy, three LED’s denote frequency lock to 0.6 ppm and the
transition to the phase lock stage, four LED’s denote the start of the phase lock stage. When phase lock has
been achieved, the Yellow “Working” indicator changes to the green “Locked” indication.
Locked
: Indicates the SynchroLock system has achieved final lock to an incoming clock signal. This
indicator will also appear when the Sample Clock Source is set to Internal and the sample clock frequency
is a multiple of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
Range
: Indicates that the selected external clock source is not within the SynchroLock lock range.
Disabled: Indicates that SynchroLock has been manually disabled using the SynchroLock control in the
Settings menu: Settings->Advanced->SynchroLock.
