The Digigram LX-IP is a PCIe card that allows DAWs and other software applications on Windows and Linux computers to interface with RAVENNA and AES67 AoIP digital audio networks. Well suited for use in broadcast applications and studio installations, the ultralow-latency card supports up to 64 input and 64 output channels at the same time via a pair of RJ45 ports. Wordclock input and output is available via a single BNC connector and configurable via software.
Features
