Overview
The term "AES sync" refers to the use of an AES3 digital audio signal as a clock source of synchronization in digital audio systems.
Basics
The AES3 digital audio format is "self-clocking" in that the same signal carries both an embedded clock and the digital data. This allows for the use of a single connection to carry stereo digital audio form one device to another without the need for any other form of "clock" connection, such as Word Clock.
