Digigram VX442e PCI Express

Multichannel sound card designed for demanding applications in broadcast such as automated recording and play-out, multichannel production, and all applications requiring two stereo I/Os.
The VX442e from Digigram is a PCIe (Express) card that provides 4 channels of analog or digital audio input while simultaneously outputting 2 stereo pairs of digital output or 4 mono channels of analog audio. Especially useful for broadcast live-assist systems, permanent playback and multi-channel playback, the card provides excellent audio performance with pristine sound quality and the ability to perform 24/7 in the demanding broadcast environment.

Comprehensive synchronization options include AES/EBU input, Wordclock I/O, video sync and LTC input. The VX442e is the perfect solution for professional users working with software based on standard WDM DirectSound, ASIO, WAVE, or Digigram np interfaces.

All connectors are available on an included 68-pin SCSI MDR breakout cable.

Product Highlights
4 Inputs/4 Outputs
Analog I/O
Digital I/O
24-bit/192kHz Converters
