WITH 16 CHANNELS OF AD, 16 CHANNELS OF DA, AND PRO TOOLS|HDX
HOST I/O
A NEW BREED OF AUDIO CONVERTER HAS ARRIVED
The Dream ADA
-
128 redefines flexibility, capacity, and performance standards in professional
audio conversion. For its creation, Prism Sound ripped up the rule book and started again, using
all of their 30+ years of ADC and DAC development experience.
Bu
ilding on the legacy of the Prism Sound Dream ADA
-
8XR, the resulting Dream ADA
-
128
architecture is so capable that it is set to meet the needs of the most demanding facilities for
years to come.
The Dream ADA
-
128 is a 2U chassis that can accommodate up to
20 plug
-
in Modules, including
8
-
Channel Analog Input and Output Modules and an 8
-
channel AES3 Module (with more
options to follow). Four slots are designated to accommodate a range of 64
-
channel Host
Modules including Pro Tools|HDX and Dante Host Modules
(and more to come). As well as
being able to route analog and AES3 I/O to and from Host media, full routing flexibility allows
analog to/from AES3 routing without the use of Host slots and Host
-
to
-
Host bridging.
QCLOCKS
The Dream ADA
-
128 contains four
independent clock generators, each of which can run at
different sample rates and with different sync sources. The ADA
-
128’s Host and I/O Modules
can be dynamically assigned to these Clock Domains, allowing multiple workflows (such as
separate project stu
dios or ingest stations) to simultaneously share the resources of a single
ADA
-
128’s resources.
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
The modular design meets the needs of the most demanding applications, as well as the needs
of the growing studio. As your requirements gr
ow the ADA
-
128 can grow with you. Every I/O
Module and the unit’s built
-
in Routing Module have dedicated DSP capability, allowing a wide
range of future functionality to be added by a simple software download.
A.D.R.A.
"Advanced Digital Routing Architectu
re". The ADA
-
128 delivers flexible interconnectivity both
internally and externally allowing point
-
to
-
point routing throughout its modular configuration.
DOLBY ATMOS
As the only system supporting the full Dolby Atmos channel count of 128 channels within a
single 2U unit, the ADA
-
128 is the most compact yet powerful solution available.
VERIFILE
.
.
The Dream ADA
-
128 incorporates Prism Sound’s unique Verifile technology, wherein every ADC
in the system can add imperceptible metadata to its dither signal, allowi
ng downstream
processes to check that every sample in a stream is exactly as it left the ADC.
For archival projects, accurate and reliable ingestion of large audio assets is of paramount
importance. Verifile provides automatic ingest integrity checking wit
hout the need for human
listening.
SOFTWARE OVERVIEW
The Dream ADA
-
128 control software runs in an onboard CPU module on a quad
-
core ARM
processor. The intuitive control software allows you to manage every element of the unit. Prism
Sound understands the
needs of the modern audio professional and has delivered the fastest,
smoothest, and most efficient workflow, based on a high
-
quality graphical representation of
every feature.
ONSCREEN CONTROL PANEL
The Dream ADA
-
128 can be controlled from the front panel touch screen, or it can be
controlled over IP using a browser
-
based control panel that has been optimized for computer,
phone, and tablet screens. Every accessible element of the unit is only a touch
away. Swift and
intuitive navigation has been developed for those working in the most pressured environments.
A versatile store system allows
rapid
reconfiguration of all or part of the unit (including
individual Clock Domain resources).
The Dream ADA
-
12
8 can also be remotely controlled by other equipment in the system
(Pro
Tools Hosts
for example
)
or dedicated controllers.
