Equipment
|
Stereo
Digital I/O
The card has optical and electrical inputs and outputs for S/PDIF
and AES/EBU (XLR). They can be
operated upto 24 bit and 96 kHz. This way high-quality
external converter or signal processors can transfer data without losses
in quality using dithering or resampling.
The digital XLR-, cinch connectors and the Wordclock Input are situated
on the slot card.
Stereo
Analog I/O
Digital inputs and outputs are completed by a balanced analog stereo input
and output. A/D and D/A converters each work at a maximum of 24 bit/96
kHz.
The signal-to-noise ratio amounts to approx. A/D 104 dB (A) and D/A
114 (A).
The analog input signal level can be adjusted between -40 dB
and +18 dB. The analog output level can be reduced to -60 dB.
Furthermore,
the card also contains the Software
and Hardware Features specific to MARIAN products.

Multi-Card
Operation and Drivers
|
In
a system upto 4 cards can be operated simultaneously requiring only one
installed driver. This driver in connection with the synchronization bus
allows a perfect synchronization of all installed cards.
Modular driver dialogs allow displaying and manipulating of numerous parameters,
including accurate level meters, flexible monitoring and synchronization
settings.
The cards has a highly developed multi-client driver architecture, which
allows extremely low latencies (up to 2 ms) with ASIO, GSIF and DirectSound. Because of this it is
especially tremendously suitable for time critical applications,
such as using the Cubase VST SoftSynths.
The driver supports reading of DAT-Markers. This highly
simplifies your work with CD-Premasters on DAT tapes.
