52 Channel 24 Bit/96 kHz I/O Card

 MIDI I/O x 2 SPDIF I/O ADAT Optical ADAT Sync Word Clock I/O
HDSP 9652 Overview:
HDSP 9652 is the long-awaited successor of the well-known PCI card Project Hammerfall (DIGI9652). Like the original Hammerfall, HDSP 9652 offers 3 x ADAT optical I/O, ADAT-Sync In, SPDIF I/O and word clock I/O. On top, there are 2 MIDI I/Os and TotalMix, a DSP-based real-time mixer/router.
The HDSP 9652's Secure BIOS Technology allows to perform hardware updates via software/driver without any risk.

And thanks to its unique 'Zero CPU Load' technology Hammerfall DSP guarantees highest performance and lowest latency on both notebooks and desktops!

Hammerfall also supports Expansion Boards (EXB). Two internal ADAT inputs and two internal ADAT outputs allow you to realize up to 16 analog inputs, 16 analog outputs, or up to two TDIF ports directly inside the computer
bullet 3 x ADAT digital I/O, based on RME's reliable Bitclock PLL
bullet 1 x SPDIF digital I/O, based on RME's reliable DIGI96 technology
bullet 1 x Breakout cable for coaxial SPDIF operation
bullet 1 x Word clock I/O (BNC) on included expansion board
bullet 1 x ADAT Sync In (9-pin D-type) for sample accurate transfers
bullet 2 x MIDI I/O, 32 channels high-speed MIDI via breakout cable
bullet HDSP Meter Bridge: freely scalable level meters, peak- and RMS calculation directly in hardware
bullet TotalMix: 1352 channel mixer with 40 bit internal resolution
bullet 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 Hammerfall® DSP System comes with drivers for Windows 98/ME (MME with multi-client operation, ASIO 2.0, GSIF), Windows 2000/XP (full multi-client operation of MME, GSIF and ASIO 2.0), Mac OS 9.x (ASIO 2.0) and Mac OS X.
Settings Dialog:
Just click on the hammer symbol in the systray of the taskbar and the settings dialog of the HDSP 9652 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 to a real pleasure. With a simple mouse click you gain access to the full power of your card.

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.
