Pressing the selection
button will cycle through the
available sample rates.
Attempting to change the sample rate on a module that is not the Clock
Master will cause the Sample Rate and Clock Master LEDs to flash to indicate
the error.
Sample Rates and A-Net Slots
Changing the network sample rate has a direct effect on the availability of
A‑Net Slots. For example, setting the sample rate to 96kHz makes only 32
Slots available, numbers 1 through 32. Slot numbers 33‑64 are no longer
available.
If at the 48kHz sample rate a Pro64 device such as the line‑level 6416i Input
Module is set to the Slot range starting at 33 or 49 and has active channels,
these channels will be deactivated when the sample rate changes to 96kHz.
These Slot assignments no longer exist in the network.
Channel Activation Button
Each of the sixteen line‑level output channels on the 6416o can be made
active individually using the lighted Active button found below the 2‑ or
4‑position output level switch on each channel. These buttons do not use
network resources as a Pro64 input device does. They simply act as on/off
switches for the signals passing to the 6416o rear‑panel jacks from the D/A
converters.
Any number of output modules can use the same set of channels
simultaneously, providing a simple method for creating digital splits.
