Does this card have A/D converters built in, or do you have to convert to Digital (via external A/D coverters) and then send digital signal to the hammerfall inputs??

Thanks
 
""52 channel 24-bit/96 kHz I/O card: 3 x ADAT, 1 x SPDIF, 2 x MIDI, 1 x ADAT Sync""

When they say 3 X ADAT, what do they mean?? How many mono channels is in each of those three?? I'm not really familiar with ADAT.... Do the converters have ADAT outputs that connect to the ADAT inputs on the hammerfall...
And how would you send them from your computer back to the analog mixer separately??:confused:

Thanks for everyone's help...
 
Ah, that one does not have any analog I/O, you would have to get separate AD/DA with ADAT interfaces. ADAT is just a way of transporting digital audio. (Because none of you guys are actually using those big VCR machines anymore are you? :D)
 
3 x ADAT = 3 ADAT Lightpipe connections, each of which carry 8-channels of I/O... this means you can connect 3 ADATs giving you 24 separate channels of data

1 x ADAT sync = the ADAT sync connection which allows you sample-accurate digital transfers
 
thank you Bluebear, that's the answer I was looking for...with the 52 as the number of channels, anything under 8 channels per ADAT wouldn't make sense, but I thought I would ask, to make sure...
Thanks Blueabear...
I think you mentioned before in one of the posts that you use A Hammerfall!? If so, how do you have it in the rig with your analog console,your recorders etc.... and what converters do you use...
thanks in advance!!

I do all my tracking to the HD24 (used to be XT20s) and then if need be, transfer the tracks to computer from the HD24 and back via the Hammerfall 96/36.

Sometimes I will record directly to computer and in that case I'll use the HD24 as the A/D going into the Hammerfall. (and from there to Cubase SX).

For convenience in digital routing, I use a Z*Sys DigiPatch which handles the routing of my XT20 and HD24 signals, as well as the Hammerfall card and an M-Audio SAM converter (which converts Lightpipe to S/PDIF and back again).
 
Thanks Bear...I am considering a multi I/O card, that's why I'm asking about your system. If I have any further questions I will feel free to ask:) ...I hope it's OK...
Thanks again....
Cheers
