CONTROL ELEMENTS \\\\\\\\\\\\\ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MC-3 SMART CLOCK Rear Panel 1 Refer to the »Generatable Word Clock Frequencies« and »Generatable AES/EBU and S/PDIF Frequencies« sections in the APPENDIX for a full list of all Word Clock, AES/EBU and S/PDIF clock rates that can be generated.
\B E D I E N E L E M E N T E >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> INSTALLATION Content of the Box The unit was packed carefully. Nevertheless we recommend to check the content directly after opening the package: 1 x MC-3 SMART CLOCK or MC-3.1 SMART CLOCK SD 1 x Power cable 1 x Manual 4 x Rubber feets The condition of the packaging material and the device should be checked carefully additionally.
I N S TALLAT I O N \\\\\\\\\\\\ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wiring the AES/EBU and S/PDIF Interfaces Since some manufacturers offer optimized cables for the transmission of digital S/PDIF and AES/EBU audio signals, it will be a good idea to ask your retailer for specific cables. Especially when working with high AES/EBU clock rates well shielded clock lines are imperative to avoid increased radiation! Standard cables are normally useable for clock rates up to 50.
\B E D I E N E L E M E N T E >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GENERAL OPERATION Selecting Function Menus and setting Functions Operating the MC-3 SMART CLOCK and MC-3.1 SMART CLOCK SD is very simple! The device is fully operated using the 2 keys at the front panel. 1 Switching the MENU key toggles between different basic function menus. 2 Switching the SELECT key activtes individual functions within one function menu. 2.
O P E RAT I O N \\\\\\\\\\\\ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MC-3 + MC-3.1 AUDIO CLOCK SETTINGS CLK BASIS Within this function menu you may select the required basis clock (CLK) frequency for your studio set-up. This selection serves as the basic setting for all WCLK output pairs as well as the AES/EBU and S/PDIF outputs. There are 7 different basis clock rates adjustable by pressing the SELECT key for different times.
O P E RAT I O N \\\\\\\\\\\\ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CLK multiplier 6 Both S/PDIF outputs, optical and coaxial, receive same clock rate settings. For the S/PDIF output pair are 3 multiply functions available: x 1, x 2, x 4 Due to the maximum possible S/PDIF clock frequency of 192.0kHz, the functions of these multipliers are dependent on the adjusted basis clock. Example 1 The basis clock runs at 32.0kHz, 44.1kHz or 48.
