Word clock with digital audio
If multiple devices with digital audio signals are connected in a production environment, their clock signals must be synchronized via a word clock, otherwise audio errors occur. The word clock of one device becomes the master. All of the other devices become slaves and synchronize with the master.
AES3
The selection of the internal clock rate determines the clocking for the AES3 stream. In an AES3 application, the device connected to the EM 6000 via the digital audio output can be synchronized via the audio stream.
If there are multiple AES3 connections, the EM 6000 must be synchronized with all of the other devices externally via the word clock input and output.
Dante®
The Audinate Brooklyn II Dante® interface installed in the EM 6000 should be understood as a standalone digital audio device with its own word clock and also has to be clocked either internally or externally.
