Finally, dynamics of up to 144 db reach the Amiga! Due to lack of interest, the
MEDIO card existed only
in the drawer so far. Now, since the HEW '99, there are enough pre-orders to bring the
card to production. The planned price range can drop significantly if more pre-orders
are collected. sales@katodev.de The hardware
support is already implemented transparently in the Melody driver system.
MEDIO is an expansion for Melody1200
offering digital, lossless line-in and line-out. To make clear how it works, the concept
of Melody1200 has to be made clear first, since such an high-end design is unknown
otherwise on the Amiga. Melody1200 consists of two cards called the analogous and digital
part. Between these cards, a digital bus system is implemented by a flat cable (AD/DA conversion
is done on the analogous part). To this bus system, e.g. Medio can be added with an optional
plug (optionally more than one). Melody1200xxx works with 8, 16 and 20 bit, digitally
with 8, 16 and 24 bit. For faster operation, we recommend using
Unity in Zorro systems.
A complete description of the hardware functios (routing without CPU, affecting Copybit,
A-LAN etc.) would be too big here. Please visit our website. Even those can only cover
parts. The colored PDF flyer etc. for retailers can, as always, be found at
Docs.
