PCX-IP LW881e, PCX-IP LW1221e
User’s manual
FEATURES
PCXIP LW881e and PCXIP LW1221e are sound cards for use with Axia Livewire
™
systems, with PCI EXPRESS
TM
(PCIe
®
) bus
interface. They are in PCI EXPRESS
TM
x1 format and can thus be plugged into any PCIe
®
slot (x1, x4, x8, x16).
PCXIP LW881 main hardware features
●
1 RJ45 Ethernet port allowing for extraction of up to 8 mono channels from the Livewire network, and insertion of up to 8 mono
channels in the Livewire network
●
1 SubD 9 pin connector for 5 physical GPI / 5 physical GPO transmitted through the Livewire network.
●
48 kHz sampling frequency
●
Several cards can be plugged in one PC
PCXIP LW1221 main hardware features
●
1 RJ45 Ethernet port allowing for extraction of up to 2 mono channels from the Livewire network, and insertion of up to 12 mono
channels in the Livewire network
●
1 SubD 9 pin connector for 5 physical GPI / 5 physical GPO transmitted through the Livewire network.
●
48 kHz sampling frequency
●
Several cards can be plugged in one PC
Main software features
●
Realtime, simultaneous record and playback in PCM (8, 16 and 24 bits) as well as in MPEG Audio Layer I, Layer II and Layer III*,
Float IEEE754 conversion supported (with 24bit fixedpoint dynamic range)
●
When using the Digigram np SDK, realtime mixing of several PCM and MPEG audio streams per output channel, direct monitoring,
level adjustment, panning, crossfades, punchin/punchout, scrubbing, timestretching, pitchshifting, 3band parametric equalizer,
Maximizer, format and frequency conversions.
●
Low latency WDM DirectSound, Wave, and ASIO drivers. Under DirectSound and ASIO, the cards operate in PCM mode only
(nevertheless, an application can integrate coders/decoders on the host PC).
Under Wave, HR boards can operate in both PCM and MPEG (layer 1 and layer 2).
*
MPEG Layer III playonly on DSP
MPEG Layer III recording on the host computer is available through Digigram’s PC Codec using the np SDK
