Manual SDs-01 D 3.2.2003 17:45 Uhr Seite 16
When applying Word Clock, GPS, Telecom,
DCF77 or MFS60 sources, both pulse and sine
signals will be accepted which allows for
processing even heavily slurred signals.
New References
For special-purpose applications, the range
or number of the sync-clock references can
be extended by means of a software update.
Practically any frequency or frequency
range between 1.0 kHz and 30.0 MHz can be
defined. The only precondition is that the
new clock source can be connected to and
processed by the BNC inputs (INPUT 1 and
INPUT 2) according to their specifications.
For more information or a proposal, send an
e-mail message to
You may also call us or send a fax:
Phone 0049-(0)30-746880-0
Fax 0049-(0)30-746880-99
If an option supporting new input clock
formats is installed, these will automatically
be implemented by the system and will be
available for selection on the REF1–3 page.

PAL 1, -2
(setting)
PAL1, -2 allows for synchronizing the internal video reference generator to
PAL or SECAM video signals with a frame rate of 25 fps, 625 lines, and a line
frequency of 15.625kHz.
NTSC 1, -2
(setting)
NTSC1, -2 allows for synchronizing the internal video reference generator to
NTSC video signals with a frame rate of 29.97fps, 525 lines, and a line frequen-
cy of 15.73425kHz, or 30fps, 525 lines, and a line frequency of 15.750 kHz
(black/white). The two NTSC formats are distinguished automatically.
WCLK 1, -2
(setting)
The WLCK1, -2 setting allows for synchronizing the synthesizer to all audio-
related Word Clock rates within a range of 8.0…24.576MHz. The applied
clock rate is recognized automatically. Refer to the »Synchronizable and
generatable Clock Rates« section in the appendix for a full list of all clock
rates.
AES
(setting)
AES allows for synchronizing the synthesizer to all audio-related AES3/-11
rates in a range of 32…192kHz. The applied clock rate is recognized auto-
matically. Both AES 3 or AES 11 compliant signals can be applied. In additi-
on, S/PDIF signals can be applied to this input and be used for synchroniza-
tion. Refer to the »Synchronizable and Generatable Clock Rates« section in
the appendix for a full list of all clock rates.
AESid 1, -2
(setting)
AESid1, -2 allows for synchronizing the synthesizer to all audio-related
AES3/-11 rates in a range of 32…192kHz. The applied clock rate is recog-
nized automatically. Both AES 3id or AES 11id compliant signals can be
applied. In addition, S/PDIF signals can be applied to this input and be used
for synchronization. Refer to the »Synchronizable and Generatable Clock
Rates« section in the appendix for a full list of all clock rates.
S/P-DIF1, -2
(setting)
S/P-DIF1, -2 allows for synchronizing the synthesizer to all audio-related
S/P-DIF rates in a range of 32…192kHz. The applied clock rate is recogni-
zed automatically. Both S/P-DIF audio or S/P-DIF blank frame signals can be
applied. Refer to the »Synchronizable and Generatable Clock Rates« section
in the appendix for a full list of all clock rates.
GPS 1, -2
(setting)
GPS1, -2 allows for synchronizing the synthesizer to all sources with
standard GPS rates (1.0MHz, 2.5MHz, 5.0MHz, and 10.0MHz). The actual
clock rate will be recognized automatically.
TELEC 1, -2
(setting)
TELECOM1, -2 allows for synchronizing the synthesizer to sources providing
the standard Telecom clock rates of 1.024MHz or 2.048MHz. The actual
clock rate will be recognized automatically.
DCF 77 1, -2
(setting)
DCF771, -2 allows for synchronizing the synthesizer to sources providing a
DCF77 clock rate (77.5kHz). This reference is transmitted from Mainflingen /
Germany with a range of approx. 2000kms.
MSF60 1, -2
(setting)
MSF601, -2 allows for synchronizing the synthesizer to sources providing a
MSF60 clock rate (60.0kHz). This reference is transmitted from Rugby / UK
with a range of approx. 1500kms. From April 1st, 2007, it will be transmit-
ted from Anthorn.
HD-P- 1, -2
(setting)
HD-P-1, -2 allows for synchronizing the synthesizer to HD tri-level sync
sources with frame rates of 24Hz, 25Hz, 30Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz.
HD-N- 1, -2
(setting)
HD-N-1, -2 allows for synchronizing the synthesizer to HD tri-level sync
sources with frame rates of 23.98Hz, 29.97Hz, 59.94Hz.
NO REF
(setting)
Selecting the NO REF setting disables the respective clock-source slot. If, for
example, only two clock sources are connected to the device and REF1 and
REF2 are configured accordingly, assign the NO REF setting to the REF3 slot
in order to disable this slot for the automatic resynchronization function
(see also CYCLESYNC).
Displaying HD tri-level
References
When locking your iCLOCK or
iCLOCKdp to HD tri-level references, their
individual frame rates can not be displayed
correctly under »STATUS«, as it is the case
when locking SD bi-level references. This is
due to system reasons. But your iCLOCK will
be locked as it should be.
Refer to the »Synchronizable HD tri-level
Standards and Frame Rates« section in the
APPENDIX for a full list of all synchronizable
and convertable HD tri-level standards and
frame rates.
