MONTANA

Optional digital audio and sync
expansion for Dakota.

In the past, expanding the number of audio input and output channels in a
computer-based audio workstation was an expensive and difficult problem.

Meet Montana™ , an inexpensive expansion card that doubles
Dakota’s optical I/O to an impressive 32 inputs and 32 outputs! Like
Dakota™, Montana has two pairs of ADAT optical ports, providing 16 input
and output channels, all with 24-bit resolution.

Montana includes additional synchronization features that are normally found in
expensive external hardware synchronization boxes. An RCA input synchronizes
the computer to an external video signal (NTSC or PAL) or to an external audio word clock.
Video sync can also come from an internal header, for direct connection to a digital video board.
Montana also has an ADAT 9-pin sync output. For maximum flexibility, Montana
features a dual-slot layout so it can be installed in either a PCI or ISA slot next to Dakota.

Features
· 2 ADAT optical inputs (16 additional channels)

· 2 ADAT optical outputs (16 additional channels)

· Input for video sync or word clock (adapter included for RCA or BNC input),
audio can directly lock to NTSC or PAL video at standard frame rates

· ADAT 9-pin sync output

· Includes internal cable for connecting to Dakota

· Dual-slot layout allows installation in either a PCI or ISA computer slot

System requirements
Dakota, one PCI short slot or one 16-bit ISA slot
