Syncing to an AES/EBU Reference
If you want to synchronise your system to an AES/EBU Reference from a
Master Clock (such as the dCS 992) or other stable source, do the following:
do this: Set the Master Clock sample rate to match the source (probably 44.1 or
48kS/s).
do this: Connect either an AES/EBU or Wordclock output from the Master Clock to the
clock input on the source equipment and ensure it is locked.
do this: Connect another AES/EBU output from the Master Clock to the AES Ref Loop
IN connector on the dCS 974 rear panel.
do this: Scroll down the Sample Rate Conversion menu to Sync Source and press
the →
→→
→ button. Scroll down the list to AES Loop Terminated and press Set.
The Unlocked indicator will light for a few seconds, then turn off as the unit
re-locks.
do this: Proceed to Step 3.
