What is this card?

Posted by: Unknown_K on 2009-07-16 10:44:10 Digidesign Audiomedia II 16 bit pro sound card with digital in out (using the old style rca jacks and not the newer style optical).

Posted by: coius on 2009-07-16 13:44:19 Thanks! this would go awesome with the video in/out capabilities on the Quadra I scored! Wow, as a side note, do I need drivers, and where would I go to get them? (I would google-fu right now, but I am kind of also doing paperwork at the moment as well. Just thought I would pop on quickly.

Posted by: Bunsen on 2009-07-17 05:59:08 The digital i/o is S/DPIF coax (as opposed to S/PDIF optical, aka TOSlink, which is more common on home gear). The data format is the same, but you need a converter. If you're lucky, you have a stereo around the house somewhere with optical in. It's a while since I've wrassled with Digidesign drivers. Search their website - there should be a table somewhere of what drivers go with what OS version, etc. There's a dedicated audio DSP on that board, which can do real-time effects on the I/O. Now you just need a copy of Deck II for some Quadra multitracking fun 😀 Excellent score.
