I have bougth this soundcard for it's ability to
- Sync-up with external SPDIF / WCLK (Fs) / MCLK (128*Fs) up to (including) 192kHz
- Output SPDIF / WCLK (Fs) / MCLK (128*Fs) up to (including) 192kHz
I needed it for my PCM4222EVM ADC to get high-pefformance 192kHz measurement rig. None of souncards i've got had ability to go all the way to 192kHz sampling rate via S/PDIF.
This one of the best products i've ever bought, i loved every bit of it but it's "ISD" cable, which uses classic HDMI port for Infrasonic's needs: MIDI/SPDIF/WCLK I/Os. It is short, you can't bend it and if you bedn it, it may break.
So, i'll make another one myself - with longish coaxial cables and required connectors - thankfully Infrasonic have used standatd HDMI connectors.
As a side note - you can use HDMI cable extender to extend the ISD link, as Infrasonic designed the pinout of their cable with HDMI cables and standard in mind - all the SPDIF/WCLK signals use twisted pairs in the HDMI cable.
So, i have "reverse-engineered" the pinout for your (and mine) convenience:
