    «. The Word Clock reference signal will be internally regenerated and distributed phase-aligned to all eight Word Clock outputs. Your MC-7 is able to lock to so- Simultaneously, the input signal will be converted into AES11 and S/P-DIF called »Super Clock« (SCLK) reference and output at the corresponding outputs.

  • Page 22: Switching-Off The Termination Of The Word Clock Input

    = Termination When moving the jumper from position 2 to position 1, the input termi- nation will be switched-off. Therefore, the MC-7 must be connected in a chain, in which a device with terminated input follows. Otherwise you need to use a BNC-T piece in combination with a 75 Ω BNC resistor for terminat- ing the MC-7’s input.
