      Hello,

      i'd want to connect my Eclipse to my soundcard using the SPDIF coaxial output. When i do that, it looks like there's no synchronization available in the signal…Do i need to use the wordclock output to feed my soundcard ? This is a Hercules 16/12 FW, with wordclock input/output.

      Hoping this is not a too "newbie" question 🙂

      Thanks,

      Vincent

       Hi Vincent

      you can either clock the Eclipse via S/Pdif or using WC.

      The easiest is S/Pdif.

      Under SETUP > DIG-IN set DIG_IN : RCA then set CLOCK: DigIn

      Hz.

      Thanks Italo, but i want to synchronize in the opposite way : Eclipse SPDIF out -> Souncard SPDIF In, to record the sound going out from the Eclipse. When i try with the Coax. cable alone, my soundcard seems to not d?tect any synchronization source. With another cable Eclipse wordclock out -> soundcard wordclock in, the wordclock synchronization is available, but i still hear nothing but some littles clicks…I've tried anything int the Setuo-Dig-Out menu, without any change. I wonder if my soundcard is actually working properly, but i haven't another gear that can output SPDIF Coax. signal.

      Thanks for any idea…

      I need to know all settings you use for Eclipse, including sampling frequency and OS version.

      Have you tried slaving Eclipse to the card?

      OS : 3.5
      Fs : 48kHz (have tried other values)
      SCMS : copy_OK
      Had tried all Cs-TYPE, Emphasis and bits value, just to be shure.

      Meanwhile, i've made several tests :

      1 – soundcard SPDIF out -> Eclipse SPDIF in : works well !
      2 – soundcard SPDIF out -> soundcard SPDIF in : works well too (SPDIF Coax appear in the synchronisation signals available) ; so my soundcard SPDIF input is not down…

      So it seems that it's the Eclipse SPDIF out which brings the problem.

      Hoping this is not a harware problem…

      Hard to say what the problem is. We would need to have your unit and computer/soundcard……

      I assume you are using a true S/Pdif cable.

      the cable worked well when i made the two tests above. I think this is a good cable. I will try to make more tests someday if i have another audio system with a SPDIF input. For the moment i switch back to analog links…

      All the best,

      Vincent
