(1) Meter

The METER button determines which signals, either input or output, are displayed by the Channel Meters (4).

Push the switch to toggle the meter display state between Input and Output. The current meter state is dis-

played by the METER indicators (2).

(2) Status Indicators

These indicators display the status of the host computer connection, clock, and signal meters, as described

below.

Host

The HOST indicator displays the status of the connection to the host computer system. The indicator is illumi-

nated when Apollo 16 is connected to, and properly communicating with, the host computer system via FireWire

or Thunderbolt. The indicator is off when the host computer is not detected.

The Apollo 16 software must be properly installed and conﬁgured on the host computer to enable communica-

tion, and the HOST indicator must be illuminated to use Apollo 16 with all computer operations. The only time

the HOST link is not required is when Apollo 16 is used without a computer (see “Standalone Use” on page

7).

Clock

The CLOCK indicator displays the status of the Apollo 16 clock. When Apollo 16 is using its internal clock as the

master clock source, the INT indicator is illuminated.

When Apollo 16 is set to use an external clock as the master clock source and a valid clock signal is detected at

the speciﬁed port, the EXT indicator is illuminated and white.

If the EXT indicator is illuminated and red, Apollo 16 is conﬁgured to use an external clock but it cannot lock

to the speciﬁed source, and the internal clock remains active instead. In this situation, if/when the speciﬁed

external clock becomes available, Apollo 16 switches back to the external clock, and the EXT indicator is il-

luminated and white.

Note: Apollo 16 can be conﬁgured to use its internal clock, or an external clock from the Word Clock or

AES/EBU inputs. The clock setting is conﬁgured in the Interface panel of the Console Settings window;

see the Apollo Software Manual for details.
