Output Options
AES Format
The AES output signal can have the Channel Status Professional or Consumer (SPDIF). This
setting is also valid when ADAT2 has been set as AES/SPDIF output. For further details please
refer to chapter 21.2.
Optical 2 Out
This optical TOSLINK output can operate as ADAT or SPDIF output.
Clock Options
Word Clock I/O – Single Speed
The word clock output signal usually 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.
The word clock input usually adapts to the current sample rate range. For example a 48 kHz
word signal can be used to sync the internal clock of 96 and 192 kHz. When the option Single
Speed is active the interface’s sample rate follows the external sample rate even over Single,
Double and Quad Speed. A word signal of 192 kHz will cause the UFX+ to use 192 kHz inter-
nally. This feature is also called Follow Clock.
Sample Rate
Used to set the current sample rate. This is the same setting as in the Audio MIDI Setup, just
added here for your convenience.
Clock Source
The unit can be configured to use its own clock (Internal = Master), or one of the input signals
(Word, AES, ADAT1, ADAT2). If the selected source isn't available (Input Status No Lock), the
unit will change to the next available one (AutoSync). If none is available then the internal clock
is used. The current clock source is displayed below.
Input Status
Indicates for inputs Word, AES, ADAT1 and ADAT2 whether a valid signal (Lock, No Lock) or a
valid and synchronous signal (Sync) is present. The third column shows the sample frequency
detected by the hardware (coarse recognition, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz etc.).
