Overview

The LX-24M digital audio adapter offers high performance 20 bit, studio quality audio with simultaneous, multi-track record and play capability. MPEG Layer I/II encode and decode is standard as is 8 and 16 bit linear PCM compression. The LX-24M provides 2 channel record capability with 4 channel playback. All inputs and outputs can be configured by the user in balanced or unbalanced mode. 96 dB dynamic range is typical with THD+N rating of .003%. The LX-24M is a half size card and designed for application in 32 bit Intel or Alpha based PCI systems. Demo software and drivers for Windows 95/98/NT/2000 and XP are provided at no charge.

Software Development Kit

The Antex Software Development Kit is designed to enable programmers to control various features supported by Antex Cards. The Kit is very helpful because it alleviates the programmer from having to write an extensive amount of tedious code to access the Mixer Controls using the native Win32 API. Furthermore, the Kit contains several routines that make it very easy to play and record audio in all formats supported by Antex cards. Once again, these functions are also designed to insulate the programmer from having to deal with the complex Win32 Multimedia Audio API. These functions work in both "Non-Console" (GUI) programs as well as in "Console" programs. The library contains a "C" interface so that it is callable from C, C++, Visual BASIC, Delphi and other languages. The Mixer component of the Kit also contains a C++ object model which further simplifies programming. More than 20 source code examples are provided, both in "C" and "C++" which demonstrate various features of the Kit. A 350 page manual is also provided. Users of the DOS ADK will find this Kit useful if they intend to port their programs to the Win32 environment.
