Clock 04 - Audio Pull/Varispeed 4%

Clock 04-Audio Pull/Varispeed 4%
>Off >-4.0% >+4.1667%
4% pulls are most often associated with PAL video trans-
fers. For example, when transferring PAL video to film, a
-4% pull down is applied to achieve 24fps.
>Off
The audio clock runs at the chosen rate.
>-4.0%
Used for PAL video to film.
>+4.1667%
Used for film to PAL video.
There might be situations where you need to use a combi-
nation of both 4% and 0.1% pulls to correct for a prob-
lem. The SyncStation allows you the flexibility to do just
that.
Audio pull in Nuendo
Nuendo's Project Setup settings include a "Pull Up/ Pull
Down" menu to make the pull settings. The various combi-
nations are made in Nuendo with single choices instead of
separate settings for 4% and 0.1% pulls.
Audio pull in the Project Setup section
The Nuendo pull up/down settings will only be trans-
!
mitted to the SyncStation if the "Hardware Pull Set-
tings" option is set to "Follow Nuendo" (SyncStation
Settings pop-up window, Audio Pull section).
Varispeed in Nuendo
It is possible to run the SyncStation in full varispeed mode.
This gives you the option to vary the clock speed ±12.5%
in increments of 0.1%. In this state, the SyncStation can-
not lock to timecode and the clock generator will run inde-
pendently of the clock reference.
Varispeed is accessed from the SyncStation Settings pop-
up window in the Audio Pull section. Choose Varispeed
from the "Hardware Pull Settings" pop-up menu and enter
a varispeed amount in the field below.

Clock 05 - Wordclock A

Clock 05-Wordclock A
>Off >W/C In >1x >2x >4x >256x
The Clock 05 to Clock 08 settings deal with the way the
clock is generated at the word clock outputs. Each output
can be individually configured to provide much flexibility
for various studio setups.
>Off
When set to "Off", that word clock output will not have
any signal at all.
>W/C In
When the word clock output is set to "W/C In", it will echo
whatever word clock signal is coming in via the word clock
input. This is important when you are using the word clock
input as the clock reference. For the best audio fidelity,
use this option in order to have the cleanest word clock
signal pass through the SyncStation to your audio device.
When using the word clock input as the clock refer-
!
ence, it is necessary that the incoming word clock
signal is generated by the same clock source as the
chosen frame reference or at the very least is tied to
the frame reference by another device. The best ex-
ample of this is using one generator to create both
the video sync and word clock signals.
