The WORD CLOCK connection is for synchronizing the clock rate of the Transporter with a master clock. This would allow you to take the DIGITAL out and keep it in sync with the other digital devices in your room. This would, most likely, be used in a Pro environment. The recording facilities I manage and operate has a master house clock generator that keeps all ProTools rooms running at EXACTLY the same clock rate. Any digital piece of gear can digitially feed another and remain sample-locked. I could install a Transporter in our facility, lock it to house clock, and make its AES output available to all controlrooms. Word Clock is, typically, distributed via 75-ohm coax and has a recommended length limit of 7-10 meters. We try to keep lengths to 3 meters or less. It's a great addition but probably doesn't get a lot of use in anyone's home. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36261 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
