Part Names and Functions
10. WORD CLOCK Connectors and 75 ohm Switch
These are connectors for word-clock input and output. You can connect a word-clock generator or other such external device to
the WORD CLOCK IN connector for use as the sampling-clock source device.
* The signal re-generated from the source (selected as CLOCK SOURCE on the front panel) is output from the WORD CLOCK OUT connector.
* To terminate the input for WORD CLOCK at the S-MADI, set the 75 ohm switch to [ON].
* To divide the signal coming into WORD CLOCK IN connector to other equipment as well, use a commercially available split connector (see photo
below). In such cases, set the 75 ohm switch to [OFF].
