5 – Reference redundancy function
This unit has two inputs each for video reference and word
clock signals, and it supports redundancy in order to prevent
problems caused by external clock interruptions.
Furthermore, if both reference clocks are interrupted, the
HOLD OVER function will become active. The HOLD OVER
function uses the internal clock and sustains the input reference
frequency as much as possible to generate the clock. Even when
redundancy is off, the HOLD OVER function will become active
to provide backup reference if the reference clock is interrupted.
When using the reference redundancy function you can select
the following combinations of primary and secondary reference
clock sources.
Primary reference clock Secondary reference clock
INTERNAL –
VIDEO A VIDEO B, WORD A, WORD B, AES
WORD A VIDEO A, VIDEO B, WORD B, AES
AES VIDEO A, VIDEO B, WORD A, WORD B

Reference clock switching conditions
The conditions for switching among the primary, secondary and
backup reference clocks depend on which of the three following
sequence modes is selected.
Sequence mode types
PREF. PRI. (primary reference clock priority) mode
In this mode, when the unit has switched to a lower priority
reference clock, when a higher priority reference clock recovers,
the unit will immediately switch to that clock.
