Introduction

The PCI-822™ is a PCI soundcard that
integrates these digital audio and MIDI features:
• TDIF-1 (DB-25) connector for 8 inputs and
8 outputs of digital audio with up to 24-bit resolution
• RCA (coax) input and RCA (coax) output
for 2-channel SPDIF audio
•
BNC word clock output
•
2 MIDI inputs and 2 MIDI outputs
(standard DIN-5 MIDI connectors)
The PCI-822 supports 44.1
and 48 kHz sample rates, and
can also lock to digital audio
inputs from 39–51 kHz.
The Windows 95/98 driver can dynamically resample 8, 11.025,
16, 22.05 and 32 kHz digital audio output for playback through
high-quality external converters.
The PCI-822 has a software control panel for digital audio input
status, sample rate selection, and clock source control.
The PCI-822's ASIO driver provides low-latency performance when
adjusting parameters and monitoring inputs with applications such as
Cubase VST. The PCI-822 also has a direct GigaSampler
(GSIF) driver.
The TDIF-1 connector on the PCI-822 can be connected to any
device that supports TDIF, including digital mixers such as the
TM-D1000, the TASCAM IF-TAD converter for TDIF/ADAT translation,
TDIF-compatible tape machines such as the DA-38/78/88/98, and
external A/D-D/A converters.
