Word clock and slot settings

"Word clock" refers to the clock that provides the basis of timing for digital audio signal processing. To
send and receive digital audio signals between devices, those devices must be synchronized to the same
word clock. If digital audio signals are transferred in an unsynchronized state, the data may not be
transmitted or received correctly, and noise may be present in the signal, even if the sampling rates are
the same.
Specifically, you must first decide which device will transmit the reference word clock for the entire
system (the word clock master), and then set the remaining devices (the word clock slaves) so that they
synchronize to the word clock master.
If you wish to use the CL series console as a word clock slave that is synchronized to the word clock
supplied from an external device, you must specify the appropriate clock source (the port through
which the word clock is obtained).
This section explains how to select the clock source that the CL series console will use.
