Options
Check Input verifies the current digital input signal against the settings in the record program.
When de-activated a recording will always be allowed, even with non-valid input signals. Check
Input is valid for MME only.
SyncAlign guarantees synchronous channels when using MME multitrack software. This option
should only be switched off in case the used software does not work correctly with SyncAlign
activated.
TMS activates the transmission of Channel Status data and Track Marker information of the
SPDIF input.
With Interleaved activated, WDM devices can be used as 8-channel devices (see chapter 12.5).
Clock Mode
The unit can be configured to use
its internal clock source (Master),
or the clock source pre-defined via
Pref. Sync Ref (AutoSync).
Pref. Sync Ref.
Used to pre-select the desired
clock source. If the selected
source isn't available, the unit will
change to the next available one.
The current clock source and
sample rate is displayed in the
AutoSync Ref display.
The automatic clock selection
checks and changes between the
clock sources Word Clock, ADAT
and SPDIF.
Word Clock Out
The word clock output signal usu-
ally equals the current sample
rate. Selecting Single Speed
causes the output signal to always
stay within the range of 32 kHz to
48 kHz. So at 96 kHz and 192 kHz
sample rate, the output word clock
is 48 kHz.
System Clock
Shows the current clock state of the Fireface 400. The system is either Master (using its own
clock) or Slave (see AutoSync Ref).

A click on this button transmits all current settings into the flash memory of the Fireface. Those
settings then become active directly after power-on, and also in stand-alone operation.
Read Flash Memory
A click on this button causes all settings to change to the ones stored in the flash memory of the
Fireface.
