Digital Input Status – Just below the Volume Faders on the Digital In panel are two
status indicators. The top indicator delineates professional or consumer channel
status with PRO or CON labels. Professional status is generally associated with
an AES/EBU signal, and consumer status is generally associated with an S/P DIF
signal. The bottom indicator shows Lock/Unlock status or an error code for the
digital input:
Code
Color
DIGITAL IN Status/Error
Lock
Green
Locked and receiving audio data flagged as valid.
Lock
Yellow Locked and receiving audio data flagged as invalid.
Unlock Red
Not locked – caused by an unstable signal or loss of connection.
Conf
Red
Indicates a degraded signal typically caused by long or lossy
cables.
Biphase Red
Indicates a signal that violates the biphase encoding rules.
Parity
Red
Indicates a signal that does not have even parity.
CRC
Red
Indicates a signal whose CRC channel status does not match the
calculated CRC.
These indicators are updated four times per second.
Monitor – Enables or disables input monitoring for each output device. The Monitor
Source control selects which input is monitored. The monitor circuitry on the
LynxONE digitally mixes the selected monitor source with the output signal with
a one sample period delay. Because of this extremely low delay, the use of the
LynxONE’s monitor function is recommended instead of the monitoring features
of third party applications when performing overdubs.
Mute – Provides a mute function for each associated input or output.
Input / Output Activity Indicators – The names at the bottom of the analog and
digital I/O panels reflect the name of its associated wave device. When a device is
inactive its name is shown as blue text. When a device is active (currently open
for play or record) its name appears in black with a green background.
Sample Clock – This section of the LynxONE mixer provides control of the sample
clock source and reference. Since the sample clock is the master timing source, all
LynxONE audio devices on a single card must have identical sample rates. Sample
clock settings cannot be changed if any LynxONE audio device is playing or
recording.
Source – Allows selection of the sample clock source from one of the following:
Internal – Clock derived from the on-board crystal oscillator.
External – Clock signal from the CLOCK IN connector on the MIDI/Clock
cable.
Header – Clock signal from the board-mounted CLOCK IN header.
Digital – Clock signal from the DIGITAL IN connector on the Audio cable.
The Digital Format control must be correctly selected when selecting
this clock source.
Reference – Provides selection of the clock source reference type from one of the
following:
