Bruce Maddocks' Cups 'N Strings Studios Installs SEK'D Prodif™ 88

PCI-Interface card for the transmission of Multi-Channel AES/EBU featuring 24 Bit / 96 kHz resolution

"I was preparing to do some Dolby digital AC3 encodes of the Salt Lake City opening ceremonies for production mixer Ed Greene," recalls Bruce Maddocks, "And when I went to do the load-in, I discovered that the performance level of my sound card was not up to the task. I contacted Jim Pace at plus24 and discussed the Prodif 88 -- it was delivered the same day. I put the card in my computer, installed the driver, clicked two or three buttons and started passing encode signals into it and out of it. It worked like a champ, and believe me, it saved my butt." Cups 'N Strings has the world's first 24-channel Nuendo system with Prodif 88 I/O, which utilizes the AES format -- not Lightpipe.

Maddocks recently tranferred the original Steely Dan "Gaucho" multitrack tapes for Elliot Scheiner through the Prodif 88 and Swissonic A/D converters to the Nuendo system for 5.1 release.
