Card is used and has some cosmetic blemishes (such as an scratched decal etc). However it has been tested to confirm that it works as it should and a screenshot of the card under test will be included in the package.

Description

The ASI6585 is a professional PCI sound card designed for use in Axia Livewire IP-audio based radio broadcast automation systems.

It uses the Axia Livewire protocol to record and play audio streams over a standard Ethernet network.

Providing up to 16 play streams that are mixed to 8 stereo outputs and up to 16 record streamsfed from 8 stereo inputs, the ASI6685 features AudioScience’s unique “anything to anywhere" mixing and routing.

A choice of uncompressed PCM, MPEGlayer 2, and MP3 is available for both recording and playback. All compression is handled by an on-board floating point DSP, allowingthe host computer to focus on other tasks.

DSP based functionality includes MRX multi-rate mixing technology that allows streams of differentsample-rates and formats to be mixed digitally. TSX time scalingallows compression/expansion of any or all playback streams in realtime with no change in pitch.

For emerging surround soundapplications, SSX mode allows multichannel streams of up to 8channels to be played, recorded and mixed.
