RME HDSP PCIe Audio Interface
RMEs HDSPe PCI card is not based on a PCI to PCI Express bridge, which would simply add PCIe to existing PCI technology. It is a newly developed genuine PCI Express solution, which consequently takes full advantage of the new format, achieving significant performance gains in multitrack audio. Thanks to RMEs flash update technology, future firmware improvements, adjustments, and bugfixes can be installed easily at any time.The PCI Express card uses RMEs own audio bus, already known from the PCI version, operating in combination with Multiface II, Multiface, Digiface and the RPM DJ interface. RME is especially proud on the fact that all users of RME interfaces can easily expand their system so that it operates with the latest and fastest PCI Express computers and Windows Vista, not losing all the money formerly invested in audio hardware. A 6 year old Multiface of the first generation can still be used today with the fastest multi processor systems! As additional option the HDSPe PCI card can be used directly with RMEs Time Code Option Module, offering an SMPTE controlled operation.The PCI Express interface of the HDSP system is based on the PCI Express Base Specification v 1.1. It represents a 1 Lane PCI Express Endpoint Device and supports 2.5 Gbps line speed. Thanks to the packet based full duplex communication, the card provides a transfer rate of up to 500 MBs 250 MBs in every direction.The connection between PCI card and IO box is established using ordinary firewire cable IEEE 1394, 6 pole. The data transfer does not use Firewire protocol, but our own proprietary bus protocol. The supplied cable is 4.5 m 15 ft. long. The PCI card operates as power supply for the attached IO box Digiface, Multiface, Multiface II, RPM over the FireWire cable.The TCO module is an optional extension for selected RME cards. Placed in a free slot of the computer chassis the TCO will be connected with the HDSP card via a flat ribbon cable. The small module provides the Close...
