Default 96I/O accepting superclock??

Hi.
I'm trying to send superclock from a MOTU MTPAV to a 96I/O and while it syncs fine at 1x, if I enable the digi superclock in the MTPAV, my ProTools system loses sync and doesn't recover until I disable superclock again. Any ideas on what could be the problem here? Does the 96I/O accept superclock?
Thanks,
Jamey

It only uses 1x WC (superclock can't work above 48kHz).

Thanks for the reply. I thought the 96I/O would for sure support 256. In the 96I/O manual, it states in the unit's feature list:

"Word Clock input and output for syncronizing 96I/O with external Word Clock or 256x (Slave Clock) devices."

I tried to misinterprate this statement as loosly as possible, but it still tells me that this unit supports superclock.

Hmm. perhaps you're right .. check out page 3 of your getting started with HD guide (the manual is very ambiguous about this)... if the 96 I/O can be switched to 256x it'd have to be set in the Hardware Setup page of pro Tools.

256x clock though only works up to 48kHz.

Hmmm. It looks like HD got rid of 256x (or superclock, whatever you prefer) functionality. I wonder why? Wasn't it far superior to a standard wordclock signal? For my purposes, I don't really work at 96K so I was just hoping to use it for laybacks and such in 48K, but I want to be able to do it in the best way possible.

Maybe what this means is that it can OUTPUT 256x but can no longer sync to it?

Trying to get 256x 192,000 hertz (49.152 MHz) down a piece of wire reliably without phase and jitter problems would be an issue
