Description
With up to 128/128 I/O, the LX-IP PCIe(R) sound card bridges professional audio software applications to the ultra-low latency, and high precision clock management of AES67 and Ravenna synchronous audio-over-IP networks, in full compliance with AES67 interoperability recommendations.
On-board optional MADI connectivity enables the seamless transition from synchronous audio to IP audio in the studio environment
The LX-IP sound card is the perfect fit for your broadcast in-house or mobile studio applications and live sound installations:
- Central facilities
- Production studios
- Distribution between studios and production
- Mobile studios / OB vans
- Connection with venue / event installations
- Live sound and fixed installations
