The 10M input on some Interfaces is designed specifically for the 10MX Rubidium Atomic Clock.īoth of those options require the usage of 75 Ohm BNC connectivity. Use it if own an External Dedicated Clock - An OCX, or a Trinity for example. To clock your Antelope Interface using an External Source, just make sure to select the proper Clock Source in the same menu shown above and connect the devices together using the proper cables/optics for the Job. There are 110 Ohm ones out there, but we've seen them causing different clocking issues with our devices. If you're clocking through BNC, we'd recommend using cables with a max length of 2 Meters at 75 Ohm. Clock signal is constantly being sent to all the outputs which can transmit it. To configure that, simply connect to your other devices using your BNC/Digital Outputs and make sure to select the other devices to receive clock signal through their respective BNC/Digital Inputs. Using your Antelope Interface as a Master Clock Keep in mind that almost all our Interfaces feature our world known 64 Bit AFC (Acoustically Focused Clocking) technology, meaning that you can use them as legitimate Clock Distributors with an unprecedented quality. In this way - your device's Internal Clock would be the Master Clock for your Configuration. With both aforementioned options you can still distribute clock signal to other devices by using your Digital Outputs. The internal Clock of the device will still be the Clock Source for the device, however it will be instructed by the Computer/Mac as to which Sample Rate you need to have selected. When you're using your device through USB, the "USB" option has to be selected. When you're using your device through Thunderbolt and you want it to be a Master, select Internal/Oven. For example, check out how many options you get with an older Discrete 4 which does not have a dedicated HDX/MADI/Dante Connectivity: In our Devices' Control Panels you can select the Clock Source for said device on the Top of the Control Panel window. The Second Option is getting the device clocked by an External Source. After the device is clocked, select it as a Master Clock for all your Peripheries. When using USB Connectivity, the device automatically locks to USB unless an external clock has been selected beforehand. With our interfaces you can either leave them to get clocked Internally (With some Devices, this option will appear as Oven/Internal), or through USB. That means you wouldn't need additional BNC Connectivity to clock your devices together. Most modern Audio Interfaces have at least one type of Digital Input - SPDIF/ADAT/MADI/DANTE/AES etc.Īll of the aforementioned Digital Inputs can transmit both Audio and Clocking Signal at the same time. Now that we're fully aware of what Clocking Technology is and in which ways it could be beneficial to our needs, let's discuss the ways in which you can clock your devices together in any scenario.Ĭlocking if you do not have dedicated BNC Inputs/Outputs.
