Meeting Location: Zoom presentation
The sample clocks driving audio CODECs in digital recording systems have been based on crystal oscillators almost exclusively. Due to advances in materials and integration, atomic clocks can be deployed with electrical and footprint requirements on the order of integrated circuits. Speakers discussed the applicability of current atomic clock varieties in controlling CODECs, with jitter performance an important quality factor. They also discussed the measurement of clock jitter in search of a method to capture anecdotal qualities of jitter in audio applications.
