RME presents the Digiface, a highly
extended version of the well-known PCI card Project
Hammerfall (DIGI9652). Digiface offers 3 ADAT optical I/Os, ADAT-Sync In, SPDIF I/O and word clock I/O like its predecessor. On top, there are 2 MIDI I/Os and a separate analog line out. Thanks to its unique 'Zero CPU Load' technology Hammerfall DSP guarantees highest performance and lowest latency on both notebooks and desktops!
The Digiface comes with drivers for Windows 98/ME (MME with multi-client operation, ASIO 2.0, GSIF), Windows 2000/XP (full ASIO multi-client operation of MME, GSIF 2.0 and ASIO 2.0), Mac OS 9.x (ASIO 2.0) and Mac OS X (Core Audio, Core MIDI).
The small box using half the space of a 19"
rack doesn't show the included outstanding power and extensive features
at first glance. The front panel hosts some useful status LEDs, like MIDI
state, lock state of the digital inputs and error state of the host-bus.
Additionally there's a high-quality 24 bit/96 kHz analog line output, also
usable with headphones, and one MIDI I/O.
The back of the Digiface offers real Hammerfall
connectivity: 1 x MIDI I/O, 3 x ADAT I/O, SPDIF I/O, ADAT Sync In and word
clock I/O. This compact multi-channel solution has everything you need.

- 3 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 Word clock I/O (BNC)
- 1 x analog Line/headphone
output, separate output for independent submix
- 2 x MIDI I/O, 32 channels
high-speed MIDI
- HDSP Meter Bridge: freely
scalable level meters, peak- and RMS calculation directly in hardware
- TotalMix: 1456 channel mixer
with 40 bit internal resolution
- S/MUX poured in hardware:
12 channels 96 kHz/24 bit for record and playback on ADAT optical
...and numerous other features found
already in the Hammerfall series. And all this for an unbeatable price!
The parts of the Hammerfall DSP System can
be combined freely. Therefore the Digiface can be used with notebooks as
well as desktop computers. The connection to notebooks is achieved via a CardBus interface, the connection to desktops via a PCI interface. The interfaces are sold separately.

Just click on the hammer symbol in the
systray of the taskbar and the settings dialog of the Digiface 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 DSP System to a
real pleasure. With a simple mouse click you gain access to the full
power of your system.
When working with several digital sources it is not only necessary to know if
these are properly locked, but also if they are totally synchronized. RME's exclusive SyncCheck checks
all input signals and displays their actual state, and thanks to our new Intelligent
Clock Control concept you have all clocks and states under control - with
ease.
A display of the time code at the ADAT Sync-In port offers a quick check of the
communication between external device and Hammerfall. |
