Word Clock - RME Audio MULTIFACE User Manual

MME
Check Input verifies the current input signal against the settings in the record program. When
de-activated a recording will always be allowed, even with non-valid input signals.
TMS activates the transmission of Channel Status data and Track Marker information of the
SPDIF input. Both settings are valid for MME only.
Buffer Size
The setting Buffer Size determines the latency between incoming and outgoing ASIO* data, as
well as affecting system stability (see chapter 13). Under Windows MME this setting determines
the DMA buffer size (see chapter 8.4).
SPDIF In
Defines the input for the SPDIF signal. 'Coaxial' relates to the phono socket, 'ADAT' to the
optical TOSLINK input.
SPDIF Out
The SPDIF output signal is
constantly available at the phono
plug. After selecting 'ADAT' it is also
routed to the optical output ADAT.
For further details about the settings
'Professional', 'Emphasis' and 'Non-
Audio', please refer to chapter 12.
Clock Mode
The card can be configured to use
its internal clock (Master), or the
clock source pre-defined via Pref.
Sync Ref (AutoSync).
Pref. Sync Ref
Used to pre-select the desired clock
source. If the selected source isn't
available the card will change to the
next available one. The currently
used clock source and sample rate
is displayed in the AutoSyncRef
display.
The automatic clock selection
checks and changes between the clock sources ADAT optical, SPDIF, word clock and ADAT
Sync. The latter is recommended especially for sample-accurate transfers under ASIO 2.0.
System Clock
Shows the current clock state of the HDSP system. The system is either Master (using its own
clock) or Slave (AutoSync Ref).
Hardware State
This display shows the current state of the I/O-box:
I/O Box error: I/O-box not connected or missing power
I/O Box detected: The interface has found a I/O-box and tries to load the firmware
I/O Box locked: Communication between interface and I/O-box ok
* Under W2k/XP also GSIF data
