Ok did away with the 442

Got Black Mec which is my master to Card 2 (monitors out)
Got Blue Mec to Card 1
Paris Config to Master card A
Gives me this
Error initializing Engine. No interface was connected to master card
so i unplugged one so i could change the Paris config Master Card

When i switch Paris Config to Master card B, it boots up and in the patch
bay the Black Mec which is on Card 2 shows up as Mec Module A and the Blue
Mec which is on card 1 shows up as Mec Module B
They both show Word clock on front of mecs
Black shows 44.1 khz
Blue shows 48.0 khz

When i Hook Black Mec which is my master to Card 1 (monitors out)
Got Blue Mec to Card 2
Paris Config to Master card A
Word Cables Hooked up

and got this on the boot
Error initializing Engine. Error code 7/7

Anybody ?

Hook up ONE mec at a time. Find the master card, it won't initialize Paris
software until you do, so it's a no brainer at that point. Then, put the
other MEC that you want to add on the last EDS card in the food chain, card
C. Make sure the word clock is going from master interface MEC to slave
interface MEC (that's A to C). Some have subjected it may be more stable to
add a BNC terminator on the last MEC in the chain - I don't use one and
can't say I feel I've needed one, either. YMMV.

This is the rig I've been running a few years and it's been w/o any 7/7 or
18/12 or any other wierdness in finding hardware, _excepting_ the adat/WinXP
limitation of one adat card per MEC.

Hello.

Actually, I have the same setup like yours.
Never had a single problem... (except that ATAT - XP stuff,,, ;-)

So, as A. Allen said, first locate the first EDS card simply by conecting
one mec into each card. If paris boots - that's a A card.
Now, connect wordclock USING T-ADAPTER(s), locate card B, connect
second MEC, and if you want 422 to card C.
....and of course, I suppose you did EDS interconections right. Did you?
....and MEC A led shows 44k and MEC B led shows 48k is a hardware bug.
If you sync them well, all will be at 44k, and belive me , you will HEAR
if MECs are working on different sample rates. ;-)

Wordclock conection theory :

"Word clock signals are usually distributed in the form of a network, split
with BNC T-adapters
and terminated with resistors. We recommend using off-the-shelf BNC cables
to connect all
devices, as this type of cable is used for most computer networks. You will
find all the neces-
sary components (T-adapters, terminators, cables) in most electronics and/or
computer stores.

To avoid voltage loss and reflections, both the cable itself and the
terminating resistor at the
end of the chain should have an impedance of 75 Ohm. If the voltage is too
low, synchroniza-
tion will fail. High frequency reflection effects can cause both jitter and
sync failure.

The last device in a wordclock chain should be terminated using a T-adapter
and a 75 Ohm
resistor (available as short BNC plug). Of course devices with internal
termination do not need
T-adaptor and terminator plug. " - RME Audio

So, people are doing mistake when conecting wordclock out to in, and then
another out to in
of second device, then another out to in of third, fourth... xyz device.
That way of conecting
wordclock is raising jiter in the wordclock signal espetially if device
wordclock in and
out arent 100% in phase. (steady clock WC in/out of RME fireface is another
story...)
Drawback of that method is weakening of wordclock signal in large networks,
so
termination makes things worse in that case...
Termination is case sensitive and it helps in some cases, but not in other
cases.
When using large wordclock networks like mine, termination is bad idea...
I have 6 devices in my wordclock network WITHOUT termination.
With setup connected like that, I never have a single sinhronization problem
or click or dropout.
(2xMEC + 1xFireface + 1xTC M3000 + 2xRME 9652 - all conected in a network
with
T-adapters + digital ins/outs and ADAT sync) .
To make things worse, my WC master MEC is not even at the end of the chain,
but - it works flawlesly!
Lately I purchased another 2 MEC's and I'm planning to expand my system to 4
EDS cards
and 4 MECs. That will be 8 devices in a wordclock network across about 10
meters of
cable.... and I think it should work. If not, I'll use my RME fireface
like WC signal
refresher somwhere in the middle of the chain, and take benefit of RMEs
"steady clock"
technology.
Also, as I'am a tehnician, I have made all my cables by myself using HQ
conectors, cable
and silver soldering wire....

I know that's very complicated, but that's the way it is... ;-)

Here are some pics, so you better understand...

I hope this will help to many PARIS users.

Cheers.

SUAD

i took out the adat card from mec A so far so good

Thanks Aaron

Kip,
My rig has one adat card in each MEC.. put them in the last position on the
far right. I also have a 8 in and 8 out in my MEC A, and each MEC has an
IF/2 on it as well.

My Black Mec which is Master Mec A stays on 44.1khz
My Blue Mec B is on 48.khz
They both set on word clock

I'm i missing something here?

That's a known bug. The light is 'wrong' on any slave MEC units, and should
be ignored. Here's a pic of my setup from the front so you can see at a
glance how my functional expansion cards are set up.

No, in fact while your putting together the rig I'd leave the config file
alone completely opting for stock. Once you have it all working, then you
can look at tweaks but you'll not ever need the house sync line unless you
are using an external word clock.
