Overview
The Antex StudioCard 2000 brings 20-bit, DAT quality to the
best soundcard in the business for audio-for-video applications.
This is a premium-quality digital audio adapter optimized
for digital video production. With Windows 95/98/NT drivers
for both Intel and DEC Alpha, StudioCard 2000 gives video
production professionals absolute audio/video synchronization,
CD-quality sound, dual simultaneous stereo record and playback,
internal mixing and playback of up to eight stereo tracks
(using the four physical ins and outs), multi-device capability
and more. What differentiates the StudioCard 2000 from other
high-end digital audio adapters is its post-production oriented
features. StudioCard 2000 offers synchronization via SMPTE,
MTC, word and pixel clocks, and composite video. Plus, the
StudioCard not only reads SMPTE timecode, but generates it
as well. StudioCard is compatible no matter what media you
work with - film, video or MIDI.
StudioCard 2000 is compatible with the most popular DVE and
digital audio applications and provides direct internal connections
to most major video cards including Perception, TruVision,
Matrox and others. The 20-bit A/D and D/A converters take
full advantage of StudioCard 2000's multilayer board design
and ground planning to bring incredibly clean, glitch-free
sound to the most demanding digital video applications. The
flexibility of four dedicated inputs and outputs means easy
integration into any professional editing environment. StudioCard
2000 features the optional Antex Breakout Box to ease cable
clutter and provide easy access to all analog and digital
I/Os and clock and timecode connectors.
