The Solaris doesn't have a parameter anywhere that sets the S/PDIF clock rate, and no screen to show you what the current situation is (I'll see if we can add something to the System page as a report at least). It normally outputs S/PDIF at the rate of 48kHz. This is built into the chips being used, and is what you will get from the S/PDIF Output of the Solaris when used by itself. However, if you attach a signal to the S/PDIF Input, the Solaris will note this and start to sync to the incoming clock rate, and also use that for its digital output rate as well. What we did to test this at Sonic Core was to use the Solaris in between 2 Scope DSP systems:Zahush76 wrote:I can set my projects in cubase to 96khz & 32 bit float. I see that it changes the sample rate on my interface. Is the Solaris supposed to output 96khz all by it self - just from connecting it with the configuration mentioned above (spdif to converter to rca)? Or is there another connection needed? Maybe additional settings? In other words - what do i have to do in order to slave it to my cubase's sample rate (or to the interface which is slaved to cubase?)?As to the comment from lotus-eater...you can get the Solaris to output 96kHz output if you slave it from a 96kHz Master clock. Just connect a 96kHz signal to the S/PDIF Input on the Solaris, and there you have it!
Scope1 --> Solaris --> Scope2
Scope1 was set to run at 48kHz, then 96kHz. We couldn't see what the Solaris was doing, but the slaved Scope2 changed to 48kHz or 96kHz accordingly, so we are assuming that the Solaris was slaving to Scope1, since that was the only way Scope2 would get the change of the clock rate.
I've noted that on the Forum Wouter says that he is trying to run it at 44.1, but is not seeing the correct clock rate out of the Solaris. I have to check again with the engineer to see if there is anything else that could be going on in the setup to affect things.
