  • Page 10 4 WC / SC IN + OUT (Word Clock + Word Clock x 256, so-called Super Clock) This input receives a Word Clock or Word Clock x 256 signal (automatic dif- ferentiation) for the synchronization of the FORMAT CHANGER advanced. The incoming clock signal is processed electrically and immediately sent to the WC/SC output for the synchronization of connected devices.

    Additionally, you should make sure that the Word Clock inputs to be con- of the signal quality can be the result! In nected to the FORMAT CHANGER advanced’s output have a 75 Ω termi- this case, the perfect synchronization of all nating resistor! Most Word Clock inputs allow for enabling/disabling the devices involved could be impaired.
