SDIF/DSD Clk In BNC
SDIF/DSD Clk Out BNC
This pair of BNC connectors normally take in and give out Word Clock. The
functions are set by the menu. Clk In is terminated and Clk Out is regenerated
internally, so these lines can be used for daisy chaining many units together,
without loading problems. See Figure and Figure for the time alignment of these
signals.
Additionally, they can both be set for TTL level AES3 coded signals, using the
menu. The input connector is controlled by the BNC I menu command – see
page 26 – and the output connector is controlled by the BNC O menu command
– see page 27. As an AES output, it will output the signal on the currently
selected input (whatever is playing). The input may be just a clock, for locking
purposes, or a full AES3 coded input. The choice is controlled by the BNC
menu command – see page 27 – and the input is selected by the BNC button
(page 12).
Remote In & Out 9 pin D type male (2 off)
If the Windows™ Remote software is in use, connecting Remote In to a com
port (RS-232 port) on a PC running the Remote Control program allows the unit
to be controlled by the PC. Remote Out may be connected to another suitably
equipped dCS unit, allowing several units to controlled by the same PC with one
RS-232 daisy chain. In addition, the unit may be software upgraded without
removing the lid by downloading new software via the Remote In port – see
“Installing New Software” on page 73.
Connect up Remote ports using a 9-way screened cable, fitted with 9-way ‘D’-
type connectors at each end, wired pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc. The same
type of cable can be used unit to units as com port to first unit. Suitable cables
are available from dCS.
Mains Supply 3 pin IEC (CEE22)
Switched, fused and filtered IEC mains connector.

As well as connectors, the rear panel displays the following information about
the unit, near the mains supply connector:

Serial Number -
The underside of the unit will have a label on that contains a number such as
954 4B1 6B2 2A1 3A2 12345. This is the serial number, but it also contains vital
configuration information. We will need this number (all of it) to give you support
over the phone, or to ship you software updates.
