Separate input and output cards allow to customize interface to exactly what you need for each application. Choose from standard, 192kHz capable or extended use DXD/DSD capable Inputs and outputs. Using RAVENNA technology, Horus brings to the table the possibility to interconnect entire facility using nothing more than a standard RJ45 connector. Once in RAVENNA mode, the Horus box simply becomes a node on a network, one that can be instantly called to be an input, an output or a combination of both. Whether you are in broadcast, TV and film, CD/SACD mastering, studio or live music recording, live events, theatres, museums, cruise ships or any industry where you need audio to get from A to B (or A to B and C or C to A and part of D, E and F!). Modular by Design The ability to choose the amount of I/O that each Horus unit is capable of saves money without diminishing the level of quality. Choose to add any of the option modules to Horus and create the ultimate audio interface for your studio, whatever the size. Once the Horus is fully loaded with option cards, it is capable of achieving an astonishing, simultaneous 176 inputs and 178 outputs at 1FS. Route Signal Anywhere Horus has been designed so that any input can be routed to any amount of outputs as required at the same time. With comprehensive routing pages accessible both locally on the touchscreen and by remote access using a standard web browser. Green Built For power-conscious users, Horus has been meticulously designed in order to keep consumption at an incredible minimum. A fully loaded Horus running all channels of phantom power will only draw about 60W, making it more affordable to run than your kitchen lights. Not Just an Audio Protocol! The RAVENNA RJ45 connection on the Horus allows for not only audio, but also control and sync information to flow through as well. Send timecodes, wordclock and even GPIO (GPIO currently in development) directly to the Horus unit over the same network as your audio. The Ravenna port even provides for the remote control access to the configuration and entire routing of the unit itself.
