Using a Word Clock Generator

Many professional studios use word clock as a stable master to keep all
their digital gear in proper sync. This is especially important if you're
connecting more than two pieces digital audio gear.
You can connect your digital audio devices as you would in any other
studio configuration. In addition, you need to do the following
1. Connect the word clock generator to the Word Clock input using a
standard 75Ω BNC cable
2. Set the AES/EBU device and the optical device (in this case, the
mixer and the HD24) to slave to external clock
3. On the AI4, set the clock source to WORD CLOCK for both the
AES/EBU and ADAT Optical sections
