CLOCKING CONSIDERATIONS
When a device is shared by two systems. both systems must be locked to the same clock
master. If a client system assigns a shared device that’s part of a system with a different clock
source, something must be done to rectify the difference.
When assigning a shared device whose clock source is not the same as that of the client system, this prompt will appear. Click
OK to set the clock of the client system as your system’s clock. The shared device, or its master clock, is now the local SOE clock
master for all the devices in your local SoundGrid network.
Cancel to explore other ways to provide a clock common to both systems.
In this example, device A-IOS is shared with eMotion LV1 system B. This means that the device is now
assigned to two independent systems (A and B) that must be synchronized to the same master clock
device. In this example, A-IOS becomes the clock master of system B—all other devices become SOE
slaves.
It is possible to assign another device as the clock master while using a shared device, as long as all
devices share the same clock.
Use each system’s Set Master menu to re-assign clock masters. Select the same
device in both systems, if possible, and the clock will be common to both systems.
The shared device can now be a slave in the client system.
If the shared device cannot synchronize to the new clock, it will be unavailable
for sharing by that host. Other eMotion LV1 hosts in the super system may be
able to sync to the shared device if they can adjust their clocks accordingly.
