    AES3-2003, AES11-2003 and IEC958 SPDIF DESCRIPTION The ATI Model MCDA-208/WC106 is an integrated package containing an ultra-low jitter studio master clock generator, two 1X4 AES/EBU Digital Audio Distribution Amplifiers and one 1X6 Clock Distribution Amplifier. Operation of the unit is simple and straightforward, and it is housed in a rugged 2U rack mount enclosure.
  • Page 5: Inputs

    When fed from an external reference signal, the MCDA will indicate the clock frequency of the input signal from 32 through 192 kHz. The full diagnostics front panel will also indicate Word Length, Digital Errors if any, and whether the digital stream is Pro or Consumer mode. These diagnostic indicators are switchable to display these details for either AES/EBU input, or for the AES External Sync In or Word Clock input.
