Munich, AES 2002, May 10 -- SEK'D today introduced the new Prodif 88 PCI-Interface card for the transmission of Multi-Channel AES/EBU with a maximum 24 Bit/ 96kHz resolution. A total of 4 AES/EBU-connections are available using a breakout cable. Up to three cards can be cascaded within one PC, giving a total of 24 channels.
