Terratec EWSCLOCKWORK User Manual

EWS ClockWork – WordClock module

Indispensable in modern digital studios: synchronization via WordClock signals. In addition to phase­locked and sample-precise linking of multiple digital data streams, a central studio clock helps reduce
jitter to take full advantage of your high-quality converter systems.

EWS cards with EWS-Connect* can be connected internally to the EWS ClockWork module to ensure perfect
synchronization with the digital outside world. The module can either transfer the clock signal of a master
EWS card to all external devices with a minimum of jitter, or it can follow an external clock. Up to 4 EWS
cards with EWS®-Connect* in the computer can be coupled in parallel to the WordClock signal using only a
single EWS ClockWork module.

Digital technology is continuously gaining ground in studios: optimized, reliable digital connections can be
established between mixing desks, tape machines, samplers or synthesizers and the EWS audio systems
in the computer with the aid of the EWS ClockWork module.
