PCI Express Cards . MADE by RME Express Complete HDSPe MADI 128-Channel 192 kHz MADI PCI Express Card While many MADI devices require an additional clock line, HDSPe MADI uses SteadyClockTM to extract the reference clock at lowest jitter directly from the MADI signal, making long-distance connections even more convenient. RME offers several options to build up powerful yet affordable I/O systems. For example in combination with the ADI-648 an 8 x ADAT optical computer interface is realized, unbeatable in price and performance. The ADI-6432 serves as bidirectional AES/EBU frontend with 64 channels I/O. On a powerful PC/Mac three HDSPe MADI can be used at the same time, providing up to 192 inputs and 192 outputs on a single workstation.
