Q:
Can I sync a 44.1k or 48k session to the word clock output of a 192 I/O with a 96k Pro Tools session?
 
A:
When running a session at 96k the Word Clock output from a 192 I/O will be a derivitive (44.1 or 48) of the sample rate. (so you can clock compatible devices) (SRC)But the AES/EBU output signal from the Digital card on the 192 I/O is not sample rate converted down. Therefore a DAT cannot resolve to the incoming AES/EBU stream. Is this correct? This is correct. Not only would the word clock embedded in the AES/EBU output stream need downsampling, the data would need to be downsampled as well and framed correctly in the new sample rate.Once a 96 kHz session is complete, the whole session should be bounced and then SRC after the bounce. The downsampling algorithms used in the bounce dialog employ downsampling techniques aimed to minimize aliasing when moving between coarse sample rates.
