Connecting to a Master Clock
If you are using AirPlay MP, Avid strongly recommends synchroniz-
ing the Avid Media Processor clock to the house master clock (SMPTE
for NTSC, and EBU for PAL) for accurate start times. The house master
clock can be connected to either the Ch4 audio input or the Timecode
In connector on the broadcast panel, but not both. This timecode is
used throughout the DNG system.
When the fourth audio channel input is used for the timecode, only
three channels of audio input are available, even if using the eight-
channel audio interface.

If you connect a master clock driver to the four-channel audio interface, only
three audio input channels remain.
