RME HDSP CardBus Notebook Interface for Multiface Digiface and RPM

HDSP CardBus Notebook Interface for Multiface Digiface and RPM description:

The RME HDSP CARDBUS Notebook Interface for Multiface, Digiface and RPM. PCMCIA type II card with up to 130 MB/s transfer rate interfaces with Hammerfall DSP I/O-boxes Digiface, Multiface and RPM

The RME HDSP CardBus is a valuable part of the Hammerfall DSP System. To interface with the Hammerfall DSP I/O-boxes Digiface, Multiface and RPM, RME developed a world-exclusive PCMCIA type II card in Zero wait state CardBus Busmaster technology. With up to 130 MB/s transfer rate in both directions the same basic performance is provided on a notebook as a PCI card would offer on a desktop computer. Additionally the The RME HDSP CardBus offers highest compatibility by being 100% Plug & Play compatible under Windows and MacOS, and being able to share interrupts. The card itself will only use one interrupt (IRQ) for all functions (audio/MIDI). The connection between CardBus card and I/O box is established using ordinary firewire cable(Closed LAN to IEEE 1394). The data transfer does not use Firewire protocol, but RME 's own proprietary bus protocol. The supplied cable is 4.5 m (15 ft.) long, a cable length up to 15 m (48 ft.) has been successfully tested. A specially designed Repeater can be used to reach cable lengths of up to 30 m (100 ft). The RME HDSP CardBus card does not provide power to the attached I/O-box. Therefore a hi-tech switching power supply is included.

The main features of the RME HDSP CARDBUS include:

• PCMCIA type II card with up to 130 MB/s transfer rate interfaces with Hammerfall DSP I/O-boxes Digiface, Multiface and RPM
