Prodipe ASIO driver

(Windows only)

Copyright © 2010-2011 Prodipe

Introduction:

The ASIO Prodipe driver allows you to fully exploit your audio interface Prodipe through your audio
recording (or DAW for Digital Audio WorkStation) software.

ASIO stands for Audio Streaming Input Output and is a registered trade mark from Steinberg.
ASIO, among other things, dramatically reduces the audio latency (the time needed by audio datas to
"travel" between your computer and the audio interface used -and this is available for inputs as well
as for outputs).

Prodipe ASIO driver complies with the recommendations of the version 2.0 of the ASIO Protocol.
It allows reaching latencies near the millisecond (and even lower) depending on the power of your
computer.

In addition, with the built-in function "Prodipe ASIO Merge®", it allows you to use multiple Prodipe
audio interfaces simultaneously. You can then create a configuration of "virtual" audio interface (up to
8 input channels and 8 output channels in the current version 1.3).

More, the ASIO Prodipe driver is optimized for the new generations of Windows (Vista, Seven and
upcoming) by the support of the new audio features of these operating systems (ASAPI for Audio

Session Application Programming Interface).

Installation:

Simply use the installer shipped with your Prodipe audio interface. The driver is usually installed in
the "Programs" folder of Windows and in the subfolder "Prodipe/Prodipe Asio Driver".
