Rme Premium Line HDSPe MADI

RME HDSPe MADI 128-Channel MADI PCI Express Card

The RME HDSPe MADI is a PCI Express card with MADI interface, based on the HDSP MADI. It handles 64 channels of 24-bit audio at up to 48 kHz, 32 channels at up to 96 kHz and 16 channels at up to 192 kHz, over a single coaxial (BNC) or optical cable, with cable runs of more than 100 m. It supports 56 and 64 channel modes and 96k frame, and up to three cards can work in one computer for 192 inputs and 192 outputs.

TotalMix FX routes and mixes all 64 inputs and 64 playback channels to the 64 outputs, so the card can also work as a MADI router, splitter or coaxial/optical converter. SteadyClock extracts a low-jitter clock directly from the MADI signal. An analog 24-bit/96 kHz line/headphone output is provided for monitoring, while the included expansion board adds word clock I/O and two MIDI I/O. Settings are retained at power-up, and the optional Time Code Option is supported.
