RME HDSP PCI Desktop Interface for Multiface Digiface and RPM

HDSP PCI Desktop Interface for Multiface Digiface and RPM description:

The RME HDSP PCI Desktop Interface for Multiface, Digiface and RPM. The PCI engine of the Hammerfall DSP System with up to 130 MB/s transfer rate, interfaces with Hammerfall DSP I/O-boxes Digiface, Multiface and RPM

The RME HDSP PCI is a valuable part of the Hammerfall DSP System. To interface with the Hammerfall DSP I/O-boxes Digiface, Multiface and RPM, the PCI engine of the Hammerfall DSP System is built on a Zero wait state PCI Busmaster core. With up to 130 MB/s transfer rate in both directions the maximum performance available on the 32 bit PCI bus is used. Additionally the card 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 the RME HDSP PCI card and I/O box is established using ordinary firewire cable (IEEE 1394, 6-pole). 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 PCI card operates as power supply for the attached I/O-box. The RME HDSP PCI card includes two Sync-connectors for synchronisation of multiple interfaces.
