Secondly, it seems that the sync plate will not recognize WC from an AES signal from a Mytek clock sent to a Lucid GenX-6 and then distributed via the BNC connectors. From what I have been able to discern, it wants to see the sample rate directly from the WC source, not converted AES. Again this is not a huge issue but I thought it was interesting as all of my other studio gear gets along just fine with converted/distributed AES as a clock source.
Now a question..........I've got an XLR>RCA adapter on the AES output of my Plus plate sending the audio output via this cable to the s/pdif input of a Benchmark DAC-1. The DAC-1 shows a solid lock and I'm not hearing any dropouts or other artifacts but the AES light in the Pulsar samplerate window isn't lit steadily. It almost seems to be pulsing with the tempo of the song during playback. Is this nomal? Is there some control panel that will allow me to adjust the voltage?
Thanks......now back to the lab.......
Of course the *input* would be showing a digital lock.......or not in the software, instead of the output. The input of the DAC-1 (which was connected to the AES output of the Pulsar II) was showing a digital lock so that explains everything. Sorry for the dumb question. Yesterday was a very long day.
