Digital Synchronisation

A number of synchronisation options are available:

Scarlett OctoPre as Clock Source Master via ADAT:

Connect the Scarlett OctoPre to the receiving digital device via the ADAT OUT port(s) and ensure that
the receiving device is set to source its clock from its ADAT input and also that the sample rates on
both devices match.
On the OctoPre, SYNC should be set to INTERNAL and the
LED will illuminate.

Scarlett OctoPre as Clock Source Master via word clock:

An alternative method to the above is to sync the receiving device to the Scarlett OctoPre's
WORD CLOCK OUT using a BNC cable. In this scenario, the receiving device's sync source will need
to be set to its external word clock input.

Scarlett OctoPre as Clock Source Slave via word clock:

Connect the Scarlett OctoPre to the receiving digital device via the ADAT OUT port(s) and connect a
BNC cable from the digital device's word clock output to the OctoPre's WORD CLOCK IN connector.
Select WORD CLOCK with the SYNC switch and also ensure that the sample rates on all devices
match.
