Page 13: General Operation
Menu Structure The entire menu structure is based on the logical flow of events when deploying the iCLOCK in a standard audio/video-studio environment. Therefore, starting with the menu main page, the menu pages have an ergonomically structured sequence and can thus be called successively by repeatedly pressing the up button. -

Page 16: Selecting And Activating Clock Sources
The REF1-3 page allows for selecting the clock source of the internal synthe- sizer. The clock formats supported by iCLOCK are listed in the adjacent table. The factory defaults are REF1 = INTERN, REF2 = NO REF, REF3 = NO REF. - Page 17 24Hz, 25Hz, 30Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz. when locking SD bi-level references. This is HD-N- 1, -2 due to system reasons. But your iCLOCK will (setting) be locked as it should be. HD-N-1, -2 allows for synchronizing the synthesizer to HD tri-level sync sources with frame rates of 23.98Hz, 29.97Hz, 59.94Hz.

Page 18: Configuring The Internal Video Reference Generator
INTERNAL links the video generator to the internal reference clock oscilla- reference generator will be automa-tically tor. An extraordinary feature of iCLOCK is that the synthesizer can be syn- gen-locked by the reference source and chronized to an external clock source independently of the simultaneously switches to the same video format! This gua- enabled video generator. - Page 19 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ A N H A N G A N H A N G A N H A N G > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > This function also ensures a redundant (failsafe) availability of the video Locking the internal Video output signals.

Page 20: Configuring The Word Clock Outputs
The WCLK OUT 1–4 display pages allow for configuring the eight wordclock Due to the internal signal phase corrections outputs provided by the iCLOCK standard version . Four output pairs the synthesizer can re-lock temporarily when comprising one top-row and one bottom-row output each are available on switching Word Clock clock frequencies. -

Page 25: Setting System Functions (Pull Up/Pull Down, Varispeed, Etc.)
System parameters allow for setting functions that affect no specific output clock formats but all output signals or the global device functionality of iCLOCK. Four menu pages named GLOBAL 1/4 to GLOBAL 4/4 are provided by iCLOCK standard version. Functions and settings on the GLOBAL 1/4 menu page:... - Page 26 FREEZE (function) FREEZE This function allows for blocking the four cursor buttons. This is convenient for protecting the iCLOCK from unauthorized access. FREEZE can be canceled by pressing the ENTER and up buttons simultaneously. GO, SURE ? (setting) GO enables the FREEZE function.

V2.10 The optional iC-ALARM interface (ordering no. 8005-065) is only suitable for iCLOCK software versions up to V2.10. From V2.11 you must (!) use the iC-ALARM/GPI interface, see below. The iC-ALARM interface enables to trans-fer signals depending on three different critical operating conditions. -
