RME HDSPe AES 24-Bit / 192 Kilohertz PCI Express Card 32-Channel AES/EBU
RME HDSPe AES 24-Bit / 192 Kilohertz PCI Express Card 32-Channel AES/EBU
The HDSPe AES is a short-length PCI Express card with AES/EBU interfaces. It provides eight AES inputs (16 channels) and eight AES outputs (16 channels) at 192 kHz sample rate. The card is also equipped with two MIDI I/O ports, word clock I/O, and can be used with the optional TCO module for synchronization to LTC and video.
