To be manufactured and distributed by SunRize Industries, Campbell, CA. Preliminary hardware specifications: 16 bit 64k oversampling stereo analog inputs including balanced line and unbalanced analog I/O Sampling rates of 32k, 44.1k, and 48k Serial digital audio input/output, switchable between: Professional: AES/EBU Consumer: IEC 958 SP/DIF EIAJ CP-340 Motorola DSP56001 Digital Signal Processor running at 20 mhz (27 mhz option) 8k SRAM (total) onboard for DSP Program, X, and Y memory (expandable to 192k) External digital audio clock input MIDI input/output SMPTE reader onboard 8x oversampling 16 bit stereo analog outputs (18 bit option) Extensive connectors for future daughterboard and external expansion Editing software from SunRize Industries will be bundled with the card. Projected retail price: $1200-1500 US. System Requirements: Amiga 2000 or 3000 with minimum 1 meg fast RAM (Testing may indicate usage on 500 or 1000 with expansion chassis) SCSI hard drive controller (DMA or non-DMA) supporting SCSI Direct We recommend the use of a 100 meg or larger HD with an access time of not more than 28ms. Recording at the 48k sampling rate uses approximately 200k of hard disk space per second of sampling time. This yields about 5 seconds of audio per meg, or about 8 minutes of stereo audio data for a 100 meg drive. Time availability will depend on system memory requirements, disk fragmentation, and timing data requirements. For optimum multitasking, a 68020 or faster processor is recommended. Intended functions (as software is available): Audio editing and equalization Sampling keyboard sound generation and editing Audio recording clean-up/remastering Time compression/expansion Digital sample rate conversion Digital audio recording/mastering to DAT External and MIDI triggering of samples Video sound editing, scoring, sound effects, and dialog replacement, all slaved to SMPTE Time Code Sound synthesis and music sampling For more hardware information, contact: Vision Quest Systems 1900 Hwy 412 East Springdale, AR 72764 Phone: (501) 751-3085 Fax: (501) 751-1829 (Attn: Vision Quest) GEnie address: D.KENNEDY15 internet: kcampbel@uafhp.uark.edu For software questions, availability, and other information, contact: Anthony Wood SunRize Industries 2959 S.
