Fairlight-CMI

Ok,

done a bit of reading.

The Sync Out and Clock Out works by recieveing a clock signal from the 
3-pole DIN. Sync Out 4 should be connected to the CMI Mainframe Sync input 
XLR ( pin 2 ).

Now the external clock will drive the CMI and the 68A40´s will divide the 
incoming clock and output through Sync 1-3. Also, the Clock output will 
supply Din-sync24 for any so compatible unit ( 808,606 etc....)

That´s the theory at least.

Will need to find a 3-pole DIN connector and make a special cable.
