Meeting the Need
The Digigram miXart 8 platform combines Digigram's powerful audio sound card technologies with comprehensive programming environ-ments into an innovative and unique product offering. The combination of high-quality Digigram onboard processing, mixing and routing functions and a large number of I/Os brings new possibilities to audio production, radio systems, logging and archiving, public address, and audio-for-video.

The Digigram miXart 8 audio cards support simultaneous recording and playback as well as audio effects, metering, mixing, routing, and real-time processing of both pre-recorded files and live sources.

Different programming environments can be used individually or in concert for rapid creation of sophisticated computer-based audio solutions. While a WAVE driver allows to run standard audio applications on Digigram miXart 8, its VConsole Builder enables systems integrators to build personalized virtual consoles or routing matrixes without programming. OEM development partners can combine VConsole Builder and Digigram's Software Development Kit for creating complete audio applications.

Digigram miXart 8's versatility makes it the ideal platform for strategic end-to-end audio solutions, covering the whole span of audio management, from content creation to recording applications, broadcast, multi-zone playout, and distribution over Ethernet.

One Solution for Many Purposes:

Radio on-air systems
Digigram miXart 8 can be the heart of a sophisticated computer-based on-air system at reduced hardware costs. Furthermore, Digigram miXart 8 includes a virtual console that can easily be adapted to the customers' needs.

Digigram miXart 8 fits easily in legacy facilities due to its professional analog interface. A digital AES/EBU interface is available on Digigram miXart 8 AES/EBU.

Installations with demanding requirements will appreciate Digigram miXart's processing power, MPEG, and mp3 management.

Electronic journalism
Digigram miXart 8 is an excellent base for newsroom recording, editing, and mixing systems. Its eight analog inputs including four built-in microphone preamps let reporters select sources without repatching and use virtual console mixing facilities.

Logging, archiving and security recording
Flexible monitoring and audio routing enable Digigram miXart to eliminate external hardware in these demanding applications. In addition, each input can be recorded in multiple formats or multiple sample rates simultaneously. MPEG coding offers superior sound and very low bit rates for efficient use of storage.

Public address and installed sound
Digigram miXart 8's audio routing, direct to disk connection, MPEG management and high-quality audio make it ideal for audio systems requiring high performance and rock-solid reliability.

Thanks to its CobraNet interface, Digigram miXart 8 CN links the world of direct-to-disk applications to the world of audio distributed over local area networks (LAN), providing powerful features at reduced installation costs.

The Digigram miXart 8 range of cards thus constitutes the foundation of powerful audio systems dedicated to public address and installed sound for:
transportation public address - airports, train stations, etc...
informational/architectural sound - museums, theme parks
public venues - stadiums, convention centers, churches, etc...
recording and archiving - conference rooms, legislative centers
mission critical security systems, e. g. emergency systems
Video and postproduction applications

The Digigram miXart 8 AES/EBU can be synchronized with a video system, no matter whether this system is inside the PC or connected externally. Thus Digigram miXart 8 is an ideal OEM solution to integrate professional audio in a video distribution or postproduction system for cinema, video, or TV.
