AudioScience ASI6718

PCI-E 1 record, 8/16 play/8 out, Analog&Digital, MPEG Layer2/3/PCMBSW PART: ASI6718

The ASI6718 are low profile professional PCI-Express sound cards designed for use in radio broadcast automation. Providing up to 16 play streams that are mixed to 8 stereo outputs and up to 2 record streams fed from one stereo input, the ASI6718 feature AudioScience’s unique “anything to anywhere” mixing and routing. The ASI6718 provide both balanced analog and AES/EBU inputs and outputs. The maximum analog input and output level is +24dBu. A choice of uncompressed PCM, MPEG layer 2 and MP3 is available for both recording and playback. All compression is handled by an on-board floating point DSP, allowing the host computer to focus on other tasks. ASI6718 functionality includes MRX* multi-rate mixing technology that allows streams of different sample-rates and formats to be mixed digitally. TSX* time scaling allows compression/expansion of any or all playback streams in real time with no change in pitch.
