  • Page 7: Word Clock

    7. Word Clock In the analogue domain one can connect any device to another device, a synchronization is not necessary. Digital audio is different. Correct interpretation of digital audio data is dependent upon a definite sample frequency. Signals can only be correctly processed or transferred be- tween devices if these all share the same clock.
  • Page 8: Double Speed

    8. Double Speed Sample rates above 48 kHz were not always taken for granted, and are still not widely used because of the CD format (44.1 kHz) dominating everything. Before 1998 there were no re- ceiver/transmitter circuits available that could receive or transmit more than 48 kHz. Therefore a work-around was used: instead of two channels, one AES line only carries one channel, of which the odd and even samples are being distributed to the former left and right channels.
