Antex Announces StudioCard:
High-end features ideal for multimedia and post-production
professionals
Gardena, California. (April 15, 1996) -- Drawing on
its decade-long experience of providing the highest quality
digital audio adapters to OEMs in the broadcast, production
and music industries, Antex Electronics has introduced StudioCard,
the first PCI-based digital audio adapter with 4 tracks of
studio-quality, 18-bit sound and real-time digital mixing
capability.
The Antex StudioCard is a 32-bit memory mapped board that
delivers less than 0.003% total harmonic distortion and 92dB
dynamic range - the only standalone board to offer this level
of quality for the PC environment.
Designed for musicians, multimedia producers and post-production
professionals who want digital multitracking and mixing on
their PCs, and who are looking for a versatile board for post-production,
the StudioCard boasts high-quality components including: a
programmable 32-bit 40mHz DSP and pro-quality connections
such as 4 independent balanced I/Os (+4dBu or -10dBv) and
AES/EBU or S/PDIF digital I/O. Plus, StudioCard offers an
MPU-401 compatible MIDI port. No matter the type of equipment
used, StudioCard will integrate into standard studio environments.
It also can be used regardless of the media environment -
film, video or MIDI.
StudioCard's features are perfect for the post-production
environment. It offers sample accurate synchronization via
SMPTE, MTC, host clock and external word clock. Plus, StudioCard
not only reads SMPTE timecode, but generates it as well. It
includes a PLL-based sample clock generator that supports
sample rates between 6.25 kHz and 50 kHz in 50 Hz increments.
A multiple adapter capability, unique to StudioCard's design,
allows the user to install multiple StudioCards in a single
computer for up to 16-track recording. User configurations
can begin with one card and add more as needed. In addition,
an on-board SPx expansion connector enables the use of optional
daugthercards for compression or enhanced DSP operations.
StudioCard is plug and play compatible, includes drivers
for Windows NT and is bundled with popular digital audio software.
The new StudioCard 4 Track Digital Audio Adapter is designed
and manufactured in the USA by Antex Electronics Corporation,
16100 S. Figueroa St., Gardena, CA 90248, (310)532-3092, (310)532-8509
