| Category: Audio I've just found what could be an absolute killer for theatre applications. Gets you thinking, don't it? How the heck does it get eight 16/44k1 channels through USB 1.1? [Shot of Semi going off to his spreadsheet] [Shot of Semi returning] 16 bits/sample * 44,100 samples/sec * 8 channels = 5,644,800 bits/second and USB 1.1 does up to 12 Mbits/second so I guess it could work after all. I don't think I'd be wanting to be sync'ing my PDA on the same bus during a performance, though. UPDATE: I just found that Audiotrak have something similar. Theirs seems to be aimed more at the DVD viewing user rather than the audio engineering market. It has a software DVD player included but does not have ASIO support and doesn't claim Mac-compatibility. |
