When pressing the SELECT key for a further time, you can activate the
»HOLD« function which leads to a fail-safe output of all outgoing signals.

When pressing the SELECT key again, you can activate the »REF PASS« func-
tion. This special function regenerates and transfers an AES3 input signal
to the format-same output. In this case, the AES3/11 output transmits the
original AES3 input signal incl. all digital audio data for further use within
your studio set-up, while the other outputs supplying phase-aligned clock
reference signals.

This setting allows to input a S/P-DIF digital audio or blank frame signal
between 32.0kHz and 192.0kHz at the coaxial input. Its clock rate will be
displayed in the status menu »CLOCK

«. The S/P-DIF input signal will be

regenerated and converted into Word Clock, AES11 and S/P-DIF optical and
transfered to the corresponding outputs simultaneously.

A S/P-DIF digital audio input signal will be standardly output as S/P-DIF blank
frame signal for synchronization purposes at the coaxial and optical outputs.
Similarly, the digital audio data will be not transfered to the AES3/11 output,
but only the clock reference data.

There are also two further function options available when feeding in an

AES3 + REF PASS

When feeding in an AES3 digital
audio reference signal and using

the REF PASS functionality, the digital audio
signal will be only available at the format-
same AES3 output. There will be no digital
audio format conversion to the S/P-DIF
outputs! The S/P-DIF outputs transmit blank
frame signals only. *

While processing the AES3 signal, the PLL
synthesizer circuit extracts the clock out of
the AES3 signal, is re-generating it and is
supplying it to all WCLK outputs. The WCLK
output pairs can be multiplied individually
by using the CLK Multipliers as mentioned at
page 19.

*) If you need to convert the AES3 format
into S/P-DIF, please use the MUTEC MC-1 or
MC-1.1. These converters are especially made
for AES3 to S/P-DIF, and vice versa, digital
audio format conversion.

S/P-DIF coaxial + REF PASS

When feeding in a S/P-DIF coaxial
digital audio reference signal and

using the REF PASS functionality, the digital
audio signal will be only available at the
format-same S/P-DIF coaxial/optical outputs.
There will be no digital audio format con-
version to the AES3/11 output! The AES3/11
output transmits the AES11 blank frame
signal only. *

While processing the S/P-DIF signal, the PLL
synthesizer circuit extracts the clock out of
the S/P-DIF signal, is re-generating it and is
supplying it to all WCLK outputs. The WCLK
