RME Tech Info - DIGICheck. DIGICheck® »Back to Technical Information Index Test, Measurement and Analysis Tool for RME Interfaces RME interfaces not only provide you with a professional digital audio interface, but also with a unique software tool: DIGICheck, the incredible utility for test, measurement and analysis of the digital audio data stream. This TECH INFO describes the functions and the technology used in DIGICheck. Please be aware that DIGICheck will work ONLY with cards of RME. This is due to special implementations within the hardware, that aren't available with any other card. RME interfaces are based on RME's own chip design (realized in a FPGA.) A description of DIGICheck's latest additions, Totalyser, Spectral Analyser and Vector Audio Scope, can be found here. Technical background: the 32 bit technology To our knowledge, RME's DIGI96 series was the first audio card ever to allowed the record of the complete 32 bit digital audio data stream.
The Software DIGICheck The Functions in DIGICheck Glossary. RME Tech Info - TMS: Track Marker Support. TMS: Track Marker Support »Technical Information Index CD Track / DAT Start ID Transfer and Emphasis Recognition *Note: TMS is not supported by the RME DIGI32 series, DIGI9652, or DIGI9636 RME sound cards offer several worldwide unique features, among them the ability to transfer all Channel Status bits to the recording software. This TECH INFO describes the principle of transferring the additional data. Technical background: the 32 bit technology As far as we know, RME sound cards are the first and only audio cards to allow recording of the complete 32 bit digital audio data stream. RME sound cards transmit the data in the following format to the recording program: X = Audio data 0 = unused B = CBL P = Parity C = Channel Status U = User Bit V = Validity Bit Advantages of this method This method has several advantages. As the decoding of the user bits (for TMS) is done through the recording software TMS can be used without limits.
Disadvantages of this method TMS in practice Emphasis Summary. RME Intelligent Audio Solutions - Project Hammerfall. Originally only intended for ASIO operation the Hammerfall became reference all around the world in a short time - because even under MME its performance is a real killer! This card is RME's ultimate answer to the challenges of modern PC-based hard disk recording - loaded with numerous unique features. Only our unsurpassed Hammerfall technology offers latencies down to 1.5 ms - not only in theory, but in reality! Break the barriers of common limits and performance restrictions with Project Hammerfall. The Hammerfall also allows to connect further Expansion Boards (EXB). ...and numerous other features found already in the DIGI96 series cards.
The Hammerfall series offers drivers for Windows 98/ME (MME with multi-client operation, ASIO 2.0, GSIF), Windows NT, Windows 2000/XP (ASIO multi-client operation of MME, GSIF 2.0 and ASIO 2.0), Mac OS 9.x (ASIO 2.0), Mac OS X (Core Audio) and Linux (ALSA.)
