Page 90 of 109

When AES/EBU-A 1-2, AES/EBU-A 3-4, AES/EBU-A 5-6 or AES/EBU-A 7-8 is selected, the SSL

Soundscape hardware is slaved to the AES Clock signal received via the corresponding AES/EBU

input pair of the XLogic Alpha-Link unit’s eight-channel AES/EBU connector A.

ADAT A, ADAT B, ADAT C

These options are available when the SSL Soundscape Mixpander is connected to an XLogic

Alpha-Link MADI AX or Alpha-Link AX.

When ADAT A, ADAT B or ADAT C is selected, the SSL Soundscape hardware is slaved to the

ADAT Clock signal received via the corresponding ADAT Toslink™ input connector of the XLogic

Alpha-Link unit.

WordClock

When “WordClock” is selected the SSL Soundscape hardware is slaved to the WordClock signal

received at the BNC WordClock input connector of the XLogic Alpha-Link.

FrameClock 0°, FrameClock 90°

When “FrameClock 0°” is selected the SSL Soundscape hardware locks to the "FrameClock" signal

received via the XLogic Alpha Link’s WordClock input connector. “FrameClock 90°” must be

selected to lock to the FrameClock signal supplied by certain devices whose Audio signals and

clock signals are out of phase (typically for MADI or ADAT SMUX signals).
