This panel shows you the -currently active- most important settings of the MaXiO PCI/PCIe host
card.

5.4.2 System Clock

Internal: selects the internal clock generator on the MaXiO PCI/PCIe host card to provide the
system clock for the complete MaXiO XD system. You need to use this setting when MaXiO is
used alone or if all other digital devices connected to the MaXiO XD system are configured as
clock slave. Select AUTO if you want the sample rate selected automatically (e.g. it will be
controlled by the audio applications using the MaXiO driver to playback or record audio). The red
color shows that AUTO is on. If the automatic mode is not selected (no red color), you can select
the sample rate manually. Please always set your MaXiO PCI/PCIe host card to internal clock
before you start to change the clock settings of other digital devices.
E.D.I-x: Selects the clock provided by the unit connected to the specific E.D.I port (e.g. an
EX8000). This mode can only be selected when the external device (e.g. EX8000) has been
configured to internal clock first (before you change this setting).
S/PDIF: Selects the S/PDIF input of the MaXiO PCI/PCIe host card (via the M.D.I connection, e.g.
the M.D.I breakout cable) as master clock. This mode can only be selected when the device
connected to the S/PDIF input is configured as clock master.
EXT CLK: Selects the Word Clock input of the MaXiO PCI/PCIe host card (via the M.D.I
connection, e.g. the M.D.I breakout cable) as master clock. This mode can only be selected when
