 Important info on compatibility to Apple G5 computers
Project Hammerfall (DIGI9652) is just another milestone set by RME. No
other digital audio interface card has got so many enthusiastic users in such
a short time.
If you don't need word clock or third ADAT I/O port then now is the time to
get our latest Hammerfall technology for even less money: Hammerfall Light
equals Project Hammerfall, but is sold without Expansion Board.
The optional Expansion
Board turns the Light into a fully equipped
DIGI9652
at any time.
Hammerfall Light also allows to connect further Expansion
Boards (EXB). One internal ADAT input
and two internal ADAT outputs allow you to realize up to 8 analog inputs,
16 analog outputs or even one TDIF interface directly inside the computer.
- 2 x ADAT digital I/O, based
on RME's reliable Bitclock PLL
- 1 x SPDIF digital I/O, based
on RME's reliable DIGI96 technology
- 1 x ADAT Sync In (9-pin D-type)
for sample accurate transfers
- 1 x Breakout cable for coaxial
SPDIF operation
- Zero wait state PCI Busmaster
interface with additional burst FIFO (130 MB/s transfer rate in both directions)
- New hardware design: 36 mono
channels in block mode, organized in 32 bit ASIO double buffers
- ASIO poured in hardware! The
result in speed and performance is 0 (zero!)% CPU load when using ALL 36
channels!
- 130 MB/s transfer rate for
record and playback results in only 7% PCI bus load when using all 36 channels
- New Enhanced Zero Latency Monitoring
- S/MUX poured in hardware: 8
channels 96 kHz/24 bit for record and playback
...and numerous other features found already
in the DIGI96 series cards - for a price that can't be beaten!
The Hammerfall series offers drivers
for Windows 98/ME (MME with multi-client operation, ASIO 2.0, GSIF),
Windows NT, Windows 2000/XP (ASIO multi-client operation of MME, GSIF 2.0 and ASIO 2.0), Mac OS 9.x (ASIO 2.0), Mac OS X (Core Audio) and Linux (ALSA.)

 Just
click on the hammer symbol in the systray of the taskbar and the settings
dialog of the DIGI9636 comes up. The clear structured, easy to understand
window plus the unique informative status windows for input signal, clock
mode, sample rate and time code make your work with Hammerfall Light
to a real pleasure. With a simple mouse click (or a freely configurable key
shortcut) you gain access to the full power of your card.
When working with several digital sources it is not only necessary that these
are all properly locked, they also have to be totally synchronized. Else drop
outs and crackling occurs. RME's exclusive SyncCheck checks all input signals
and displays their actual state.
A display of the time code at the ADAT Sync-In port offers a quick check of
the communication between external device and Hammerfall.
