Linux) and all general audio software packages available today. S/MUX interface drivers
required for 24 bit 96kHz work are also available for almost every software package.
To support S/MUX Mytek has developed appropriate ADAT lightpipe 24 bit, 96 kHz
interface daughter card for our 8X96 ADC and DAC. The result is DAW 9624(tm) - very
high performance 8+ channel, 24 bit, 96 kHz DAW hardware package, an open hardware
platform capable of running most of audio software available today.
RME Hammerfall is equipped with 2 24 bit ADAT lightpipes that can be configured to
carry 16 channels of 24 bit, 48 (or 44.1) kHz or 8 channels of 24 bit, 96 (or 88.2) kHz
audio. The 8X96 converters provide analog conversion, attenuation of ADAT interface
clock jitter, conversion to/from AES/EBU and optional formats such as TDIF and
wordclok in/out for external synchronization. DAW
9624(tm) modularity allows for setup consisting of any number of I/O channels supported
by particular software in increments of 8. For example, a setup of 8 inputs and 32 outputs
@ 24 bit, 48 kHz requires 2 PCI cards, 1 8X96 ADC and 4 8X96 DACs. This setup, can
also be used for 8/16 channels of 24 bit, 96 kHz with a flip of a switch. DAW 9624(tm) is
sold as a system (PCI card (1pc), 8X96 ADC (1pc) and 8X96 DAC (1pc)) or a la carte,
per piece. Current 24 bit 96 kHz capable Mac or PC software choices include Nuendo,
Logic Audio, Spark, Peak, Sonic Foundry Vegas, Sequoia and Samplitude, Cubase
VST/24, SAWPro, Wavelab, Cakewalk 8 and a wide choice of plug-ins such as Waves
NPP etc. The DAW 9624 will run all 48 kHz and 44.1kHz software as well. Compatible
software is described here. Similarly we leave the choice of PCI card to the user. The
choice between Hamerfall and Lynx AES16 should be made based on best combination
of software and appropriate drivers.
DAW9624 setup was recently used in some spectacular achievements. Read on our
website about live transmission of 12 channel of uncompressed 24/96 audio plus video
over Internet2 between Montreal and Los Angeles.
DAW 9624 (tm) is MAC, PC and Linux compatible.
