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.
