>Opto
The Toslink Optical input. This is a stereo AES Toslink in-
put and not an ADAT Lightpipe compatible one.
>SPDIF
The consumer digital audio connection using the RCA in-
put will be used for System Link.
Choosing the SyncStation System Link input in Nuendo
Pop-up menus in the SyncStation Settings pop-up win-
dow let you choose the System Link input used on the
SyncStation. You must also choose an output from your
audio card that will be connected to the SyncStation's
digital input by using the Nuendo pop-up menu.
Choosing a digital input for System Link.
The SyncStation always uses the right channel of the
!
selected digital input for System Link.

This setting should be set to Normal as the other options
are only used for debugging and testing.

Clock menu

This menu deals with the audio clock and how it is han-
dled in the SyncStation.

Clock 01 - Clock Reference

Clock 01-Clock Reference
>Frm >W/C >AES1 >AES2 >Opto >SPDIF
The clock reference is used to generate all the audio clocks
coming out of the SyncStation. This is critical to the audio
performance of any studio system. The optimal situation is
to have a central clock generator that outputs video sync
and audio word clock together from a single crystal clock
generator. Then you can use the word clock input as the
clock reference for the SyncStation, ensuring the best pos-
sible audio performance.
There are, however, many situations where the ideal is not
possible. Even if only LTC or MTC is available, the Sync-
Station can use it as both a frame and clock reference, al-
lowing you to provide the best possible sync in any
condition.
>Frm (Use Frame Reference)
This setting uses whatever signal is chosen as the frame
reference to derive the audio clock. If a high-quality video
sync is used as a frame reference, the derived audio clock
can be quite good and provide excellent sync. If only one
signal is available to the SyncStation, use this option to
utilize that signal for all references.
>W/C (Word Clock)
This is the ideal clock reference. The word clock needs to
be derived from the same source as the frame reference
for proper operation.
>AES 1
Uses the AES XLR as the clock reference.
>AES 2
Uses the AES BNC as the clock reference.
>Opto
Uses the Toslink Optical input as the clock reference.
