[QUOTE="Uli Behringer, post: 96925, member: 1604"] Re: Follow up on Inuke 12000 release date [SIZE=2][FONT=verdana]Dear Per, Thanks for the excellent questions. One has to understand the dynamics that drives these developments. The PC/Telecom business with its massive volume is the key driver for most communication standards and its related hardware solutions, which are generally developed in cooperation with leading semicon manufacturers. The audio industry is way too small to have any major influence on the strategic directions that these large companies execute on. The good news is that many of the solutions that flow into the audio industry, would have never been available if they hadn't been developed for the PC/Telecom business. Look at the incredibly powerful DSP’s and FPGA’s that have made it into audio products. These highly sophisticated semicons were developed first and foremost for the telecom industry and audio companies are now able to enjoy those components. However, for the same reason, the audio industry is also at the mercy of these semicon manufacturers once they decide to discontinue certain components. This is exactly what happened to our previous digital console DDX3216, where the core processor was discontinued and we had to stop making an otherwise successful product. It is remarkable that even companies such as Archwave are suffering from the same dependencies on their suppliers. The fab that made the DM1500, recently decided to change their manufacturing processes in order to allocate priorities to large volume customers. The component had to be discontinued. Archwave is a fine and innovative company and their new DM2500 is a great chip that will allow for direct USB-to-HD recording. Once the drivers are finalized, we intend to offer an optional card for all our X32 products. In the meantime we have developed a new USB2.0 recording card based on a powerful Xmos solution, which will be our new standard expansion card for all our X32 products. It is a high-speed, bi-directional 32-channel interface which has proven to be very stable. The AES50 recorder is actually an idea, we discussed some time ago. However with a USB-to-HD recording card in the making, I am not sure how viable this recorder would be. Warm regards Uli [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
