Clock Section - Nuendo DD8 Operation Manual

8. Clock Section

8.1 Clock Configuration
The Nuendo DD 8 has an almost identical clock section in the left and
right part, with professional capabilities that are hard to meet. The
unique ICC technology (Intelligent Clock Control) allows for a flexible
use of both functional units with internal clock (44.1 and 48 kHz, 88.2
and 96 kHz in DS mode), external word clock or the digital input signals.
All options are intelligently coupled and easily applicable and under-
standable, thanks to a clear display of the corresponding lock state.
As clock source, INTERNAL (crystal), EXTERNAL (BNC word clock) and
INPUT (the digital input signal AES/TDIF/ADAT) can be chosen. If the
clock signal is present, the corresponding LED will light constantly, if it
is not present, the LED will flash.
❐
If the SRC is active and AES is chosen as signal source in both parts, the
right part's clock LEDs will be inactive, because two different clock set-
tings for one signal is not possible.
If AES is chosen as signal source in both parts, and the SRC is not active,
both clock sections remain active. By this it is avoided that the present
clock setting is lost for a short moment when stepping through the in-
puts on one side. Please note that in this case an identical left and right
clock setting should be selected. Nuendo DD 8 will help you detect
wrong settings as SyncCheck reliably indicates wrong or unequal set-
tings.
INPUT
As displayed on the front panel, the CLOCK SOURCE for the INPUT set-
ting can be the AES, TDIF or ADAT input. This selection is independant
from the signal source. If the signal source is set to AES, the clock source
can still be ADAT, given that a valid ADAT signal is available. A missing
or invalid clock source signal is indicated by slow flashing of the corre-
sponding LED.
