Clock Signals





Clock signals are SPEED reference signals that
are used in applications where the rate or speed
at which data is transferred or output must
remain constant.
Clock signals can be used for both analog and
digital applications.
In digital audio applications the clock signal is
know as Word Clock.
In video applications the clock signal is know as
House Sync, or Video Sync, or Black Burst
Clock Signals should not be confused with
Timecode.
Digital Word Clock
•
A square wave, clock reference signal for digital audio
•
Word Clock is a “speed” reference
•
Sample rate is derived from word clock signal
•
Allows serial transmission between digital audio devices
Typically uses a 75Ω coaxial video cable with BNC termination. "BNC” (British Navy
Connector) is a bayonet-type connector, seen on professional video equipment. The male
connector, usually mounted on the equipment, appears as a cylinder with a hollow pin in the
center. The outer cylinder has two little nubs sticking out on opposite sides. The female
connector, normally mounted on the cable, has an outer ring with slots on opposite sides
which turns so that it can bayonet onto the nubs of the male connector, and has a smaller
center pin which joins to the male's hollow center pin.
Word Clock
•A timing reference for digital audio serial transmissions
•A square wave signal at the sample rate
•Defines the sample rate of the incoming signal
•Used to derive the sample rate of incoming digital audio
•Word Clock is a “speed” reference
•Typically on 75 Ω coaxial video cable with BNC termination

Digital Audio Transmission Formats
Digital audio is transmitted from one device to another using a variety of
formats. These formats have been developed to satisfy specific needs or
applications. Each format typically specifies what type of cable and what type of
termination is to be used. The most common of these formats are…

Video “House Sync”
•

•
•
A video waveform signal without video elements, often referred to as “House” or “Sync” or “Black
Burst” or “Video Sync”
House Sync is a “speed” reference signal used as a control track on ALL video tape formats.
“House Sync” is used to synchronize video tape machines and processors to a common speed
reference. In video facilities, “House Sync” is sent to all tape machines and video processors.
“House Sync” is embedded into the video signal (from a video camera) during recording. This
composite signal creates a control track that defines the speed of the original recording. These
camera tapes are called “Source Tapes”.
In post-production video applications, “Master Tapes” are blank tapes that have been formatted by
striping them with “House Sync” and a black video signal. This process is called “Blacking”. Video
editing is the process of transferring selected “Source Tape” material onto video “Master Tapes”. As
with the “Source Tapes”, “House Sync” allows “Master Tapes” to synchronize to the common speed
reference from the “House Sync” generator.
•
House sync DOES NOT CONTAIN TIME CODE! This is a common misconception.
•
Uses a "BNC" (British Navy Connector) connector.
House Sync & Word Clock
Both are speed reference signals. They do not
contain timing information such as Time Code or
Sample Rate, rather they provide the basic speed
reference to generate a timing signal.
Sample Rate is derived from Word Clock.
Frame Rate is derived from House Sync.
