11. CLOCK Section
The CLOCK section is used to inspect and configure the clock source and sample rate of the M-1610
Pro.

11.1. Clock Status
The clock of all digital inputs is continuously monitored with SyncCheck™ and shown in the CLOCK
section. A warning occurs when the chosen clock master fails. A caution is displayed when a routed
signal is out of sync. A caution notification is displayed when a signal is present, but not in sync and not
routed. A good notification is displayed when a signal is present and in sync, but not routed or chosen as
clock master. A confirmation is shown when the signal is present and either chosen as master or routed
and in sync.
On the standby screen, the two possible notifications are not shown. Those signals are not
relevant to the current device state.
11.2. Master Clock
In its default state, the M-1610 Pro uses an internal clock signal (master). This means that any connected
device must synchronize to it (slave).
Alternatively, one of the digital inputs (word clock, MADI optical, MADI coaxial, and each of the four AVB
streams) can be chosen as clock reference. This activates SteadyClock™ FS, a technology that extracts a
low jitter clock signal from the incoming signal.
Intelligent Clock Control (ICC) automatically changes the clock source when the chosen master clock
fails. Using the feedback of SyncCheck™, the M-1610 Pro will change to another source signal that is in
sync, maintaining the slave mode and current sample rate. If no other source is available, the device will
fall back to its internal clock until the chosen master has recovered. Due to the excellent performance of
RME's clock technology, disconnection and re-connection of a master clock is likely to be performed
