AES3 Clock
The clock embedded within AES3 channels 1/2 can also be used as the clock
source for the Pro64 network. To set AES3 channels 1/2 as the network clock,
use the selector button below the Clock Source LEDs to choose AES In (1/2).
To confirm the new clock source, press the E
ntEr
button. Press C

to exit
without changing the clock source.

: Only AES3 channels 1/2 can be used as a clock source. Channels
3‑16 are not available as clock sources.
The network can extract its reference clock from an AES3 source connected
to channels 1/2 even if those channels are not active in the network. The clock
from AES3 channels 3‑16 cannot be used. The 6416dio does not support the
AES3 double speed mode.
Sample Rate
Pro64 networks can operate at sample rates in three ranges without the use
of sample rate converters. The current network sample rate also determines
the number of available A‑Net Slots.
Sample Rate A-Net Slots Available
44.1/48kHz 64
88.2/96kHz 32
176.4/192kHz 16
In an all‑analog network, the sample rate can be set at the current Clock
Master to the following:
44.1kHz •
48 • kHz
88.2 • kHz
96 • kHz
176.4 • kHz
192 • kHz
When an external clock is used with a Pro64 digital I/O device, the system
can lock to any sample rate within the sample rate range that is displayed in
the table below.
