RME HDSP Digiface External Break-out Box for the HDSP System

HDSP Digiface External Break-out Box for the HDSP System description:

The RME HDSP DIGIFACE 24 Bit/96 kHz, 52 Channel ADAT + S/PDIF, 2 X MIDI , WC I/O & ADAT Sync. A powerful external break-out box for the HDSP System that includes 3x ADAT I/O, 1x S/PDIF I/O, 32 channel MIDI I/O, Wordclock I/O and more.

The RME HDSP DIGIFACE offers 3 ADAT optical I/Os, ADAT-Sync In, SPDIF I/O, word clock I/O, 2 MIDI I/Os and a separate analog line out. Thanks to its unique 'Zero CPU Load' technology the Hammerfall DSP system guarantees highest performance and lowest latency on both notebooks and desktops. The parts of the Hammerfall DSP System can be combined freely. Therefore the RME HDSP DIGIFACE can be used with notebooks as well as desktop computers. The connection to notebooks is achieved via a CardBus interface (shown in the picture above but not included in the price), the connection to desktops via a PCI interface. The interfaces are sold separately. The small RME HDSP DIGIFACE box using half the space of a 19 inch rack doesn't show the included outstanding power and extensive features at first glance. The front panel hosts some useful status LEDs, like MIDI state, lock state of the digital inputs and error state of the host-bus. Additionally there's a high-quality 24 bit/96 kHz analog line output, also usable with headphones, and one MIDI I/O. The back of the Digiface offers real Hammerfall connectivity: 1 x MIDI I/O, 3 x ADAT I/O, SPDIF I/O, ADAT Sync In and word clock I/O. This compact multi-channel solution has everything you need. The Hammerfall DSP System comes with drivers for Windows 98/ME (MME with multi-client operation, ASIO 2.0, GSIF), Windows 2000/XP (full multi-client operation of MME, GSIF and ASIO 2.0) and MacOS (ASIO 2.0).
