WORD CLK IN/OUT

The following table shows how the WORD CLK IN/OUT connections work with each
word clock source. Word clock connections use coaxial BNC to BNC type cables.
If, for some reason the external word clock source should become disconnected or the
CBX-D5 cannot synchronize to it, the CBX-D5 will automatically switch to internal clock.
When the digital output signal is synced to an external word clock, the exact sampling
frequency cannot be guaranteed. So the sampling frequency specified in the digital
output’s channel status bits may be different to the actual output sampling frequency.
In the following example, data from the four CBX-D5 channels are being transferred to a
digital mixer, which is also connected to a Yamaha DRU8 8-Track Digital Recorder. The
DRU8 is word clock master supplying both the CBX-D5 and the DMC1000 Digital Mixer.
In this system, the external word clock connections are essential.
In this example, audio data from two DAT recorders is being mixed via a digital mixer.
DAT No. 1 does not have any word clock connections, so the digital audio is fed to the
CBX-D5 first, then to the digital mixer. The CBX-D5 generates a word clock signal based
on the data from DAT No. 1 and feeds this signal to DAT No. 2, which syncs to the external
wordclock. The digital mixer derives its word clock from the AES/EBU inputs.
