M-Clock - TC Electronic M5000 User Manual

SOFT DIAL B:
Selection of the master clock. Determines the working speed on the bus. This also means that
it is a global parameter that works for all the devices mounted in the frame, except for the
devices set to D/D I/O. These devices work locally and can have a work clock different to the
one used by the bus.

This selects the clock that the M5000 works
with internally. This clock also functions as the
house clock in a digital system (this is of course
only if you have DSP-1 with digital I/O.) E.g. if
you are working with a system that does not
generate a master clock - use either the M5K44.1
or the M5K48.0 setting to make the M5000
generate one of these clocks (44.1 KHz. or 48.0
KHz.) to use as the house clock in your system.
The M5000 locks on the sample rate from the
signal received in either digital input number 1,
2, 3 or 4 according to your selection. DIN-1
corresponds to digital input no. one, DIN-2 to
digital input no. 2 and so on. The numbers
available depend on the amount of DSP-1s
mounted in the frame. If you have one DSP-1
card in your frame you can only select the DIN-1
setting.
This is an read only indicator. It means that you
can not change anything, but only read the
sample rate on the display.
This indicator shows the sample rate for the
device you have selected to operate.
(LCL) after the number means that the device is
operating locally and have no contact with the
bus (only possible in D/D mode). If the device
selected needs to work with the bus (all I/O
settings except D/D) the number will correspond
to the master clock in the M5000.
input signal.
Determines the digital out type, regardless
of the input source used.
Copy protection on/off. The M5000 can remove
the copy prohibit bit that is present in the S/PDIF
format (DO-CPY=on). This means that you can
edit your DAT recordings in the S/PDIF format
more than once. If DO-copy is off the M5000
adds the copy prohibit bit to the digital output.
