Word Clock
About Word Clock
• You can set the word clock source to an external clock 
device, the MADI input signal, or the Dante network.
• You can send the word clock from this unit to an 
external device via the [WORD CLOCK OUT] 
connector.
• You can connect the [SYSTEM LINK OUT] connector 
to the AES 2 IN connector on Steinberg Nuendo 
SyncStation for high-precision clock sync with 
Nuendo.
Selecting a Word Clock 
Source
Use the WORD CLOCK [WCLK IN]/[MADI]/[DANTE] key 
on the front panel to select the word clock source.
The unit’s clock is synced with the selected word clock 
source.
NOTE
• If you select [WCLK IN] or [MADI], the unit is automatically 
specified as the “Preferred Leader” and “Enable Sync To 
External” is set in the Dante network.
• If you select [WCLK IN] or [MADI], when the unit acts as the 
clock follower on the Dante network, input to the unit the same 
clock as the clock leader. You can use Dante Controller 
(available from the following website) to check which device 
is the current clock leader.

• If the word clock signal from the selected work clock source is 
cut off, the unit switches to its internal clock. The internal 
clock operates according to the previous word clock, before it 
was cut off.
MADI SRC (Sampling 
Rate Converter)
MADI SRC allows you to connect a MADI-compatible 
device having a different clock than the RMio64-D unit.
• You can connect a Dante network and a MADI-
compatible device that are operating under different 
clocks without making any changes to either clock.
• You can output MADI signals with a different word 
clock than the MADI input signal.
Setting Examples
NOTE
Output Clock Source in the following block diagram can be 
controlled only by remote control.
Using the MADI signal internal clock on the 
MADI side, and syncing the unit to the 
Dante network: 
Using an external clock on the MADI-
compatible devices, and syncing the unit to 
the Dante network:
NOTE
The same external clock supplied to MADI-compatible devices 
must be input to [WCLK IN FOR SRC] on the unit.
WCLK IN Uses the word clock signal that is input from 
the [WORD CLOCK IN] connector on the 
rear panel. This indicator flashes if no valid 
word clock input is detected.
MADI Uses the word clock of the MADI input 
signal. This indicator flashes if no valid word 
clock input is detected.
DANTE Uses the word clock from the Dante network.
