100D & ACE Pro
Due to their ability to be Networked using LAN technology, ACE cards are found on all Generation 2000
productions. ACE cards use the Apt-X audio compression algorithm. They are not capable of Shrink-
and-Expand. The 100D is the Playback only version. The Pro card can Record and Playback. In order to
achieve Overlap, two ACE 100D cards must be connected together in parallel. The ACE cards can
achieve up to 16 KHz stereo. All ACE cards use a 37- pin D-sub connector for audio connections.
