HDSPe RayDAT
PCI Express Cards . MADE by RME
72-Channel ADAT/AES PCI Express Card
24 Bit/192 kHz . Performance without compromises
New features . Lowest latency . Lowest CPU load
The Hammer falls again.
HDSPe RayDAT is the newly developed
PCI Express successor of the Hammerfall
DSP 9652 which can be regarded as the
studio standard for ADAT I/O cards. Some
ten thousands of installations worldwide
are proof that RME´s ADAT solutions are
the perfect partners for all software-based
DAWs. Still based on the award-winning
Hammerfall DSP technology, combining
superb handling and stability with
extremely low latency, the addition of PCI
Express and several new features make
RayDAT the ideal solution from recording
up to the nal mastering.
RayDAT offers no less than 4 x ADAT optical I/O,
SPDIF I/O and AES/EBU I/O. All 36 inputs and
36 playback channels can be routed and mixed
independently, including S/PDIF (phono) and
AES/EBU (XLR), which are simultaneously
operational due to separated hardware and
record/playback devices. On top, there are 2
MIDI I/Os and TotalMix, RME’s unsurpassed DSPbased real-time mixer/router, with hardwarecalculated level metering and complete MIDI
remote capability. RayDAT also supports the
optional TCO Module for timecode support
and word clock / video synchronization.
The card is equipped with SteadyClockTM, RME’s
own clock technology, combining professional
features like maximum jitter suppression at full
varipitch capabilities and software controlled
sample rates.
RME’s unique SyncCheck and AutoSync
technology has evolved into the new
Intelligent Clock Control of the HDSPe system.
HDSPe RayDAT measures and displays the
frequency of all clock sources - even word
clock! Based on validity and current sample
rate the system then decides which clock
source should be used, fully automated and
performed in hardware. With this the HDSPe
system offers the most easiest handling of the
present clocks, although having a lot digital
inputs, plus the most advanced support when
configuring the clock setup.
The included DIGICheck for Windows turns
the HDSPe RayDAT into a Spectral Analyzer,
provides professional level meters for 2, 8, or
36 channels, offers Vector Audio Scope, Global
Record Function and various other audio
analysis tools.
RME’s secure flash update technology
makes sure that firmware improvements,
adjustments, and bugfixes can be installed
easily at any time.
