Topic: aes11 DARS

Is the RME HDSPe AES capable of outputting an AES11-compliant DARS (Digital Audio Reference Signal)?

Have a go on Google, and you’ll see that it has to do with clock synchronization in the broadcast environment.
It’s an old broadcast standard for synchronization, and some of his devices might need it.

With Adobe Acrobat I did an advanced search through all RME manuals for "DARS" and "digital audio reference signal",
but didn't get any hit.

The only reference in the forum to "digital audio reference signal" (DARS) I found in this forum thread
https://forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.php?id=6939

Only RME can tell him whether this standard is supported.
