Lucid Technology PCI24 User's Manual
PCI24
Streamlined card for high-quality jobs.
Here is a superb way to transfer digital audio to and
from your Windows and Macintosh PCI-bus computers.
This PCI-bus plug-in card lets you make direct digital
connections from your computer to a DAT machine,
outboard A/D and D/A converter, sampler, or any other
digital audio device with industry-standard prosumer
S/PDIF ports or professional AES/EBU ports. And the
PCI24 comes bundled with a free copy of Sound Forge
XP4.5, the popular audio editing software.
PCI24 Key Features
· AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital I/O
· 48kHz, 44.1kHz, and 32kHz sample rates,
with real-time sample rate conversion on inputs
· Compatible with Lucid ADA1000 or
any outboard A/D and D/A converter,
including DAT machines and CD players
· Works with PCI bus-equipped Macintosh and
Windows computers
· Supports a wide variety of popular software
applications

Direct digital transfer.
With the PCI24, your signals
remain in the digital domain as
you transfer them in and out of
your computer. This card was
designed to work with outboard
converters like our AD9624,
DA9624, and ADA1000, so A/D
and D/A conversion is external
to the computer. As a result, you
get high-resolution sound free of
the noise and distortion found in
cards with converters on-board.
Wide-ranging compatibility.
The PCI24 integrates seamlessly
with a wide variety of leading
audio editing, mastering, and
music sequencing software. We
continually upgrade the card’s
software drivers to ensure that
they work with new software
releases. For an up-to-date list

Flexible enough
for many frequencies.
The PC124 supports sample rates
of 48kHz, 44.1kHz, and 32kHz,
and it can convert a 48kHz input
to 44.1kHz on the fly. What’s
more, it can up-sample input
rates as low as 8kHz to 32kHz,
44.1kHz, or 48kHz. And its userselectable output (playback)
sample rates include 32kHz,
44.1kHz, and 48kHz.
