This standard, which is highly useful for telecommunications and mulimedia equipment developers, is now available for any system designer who is interested in synchronizing instruments with a master clock and in simplifying troubleshooting operations.

In addition, word-clock i/o is provided on BNC connectors, allowing Liquid Saffire 56 to act as either a master clock for the studio or a slave to an existing clock.
