-------------------------------------------------------------------
Important information: Driver version 3.059
This is the new HDSP(e) series WDM streaming driver, offering additional features like WDM streaming, kernel streaming, 64 bit support and full Vista compatibility. It supports all HDSP and HDSPe series cards and systems simultaneously. The TCO can be operated with the HDSP AES-32, the HDSPe PCI/MADI/AES/RayDAT/AIO, but not with the HDSP 9632.
Notes on the driver
-----------------
The driver requires a new flash/firmware in case driver 2.94 had been used before. The new firmware and new driver routines offer these advantages:
- Lower system load on start of data transmission (start of record/playback)
- Better performance on playback. We added a small safety buffer of 32 samples on the playback side. To give some numbers from a typical test machine, crackling starts at:
Old driver 64 samples 60% 128 samples 70% CPU load
New driver 64 samples 85% 128 samples 90% CPU load
So even if you add the 32 samples to the 64 samples, the new driver still does a better job than the old one at 128! And the 32 samples are on the playback side only, so throughput monitoring is even more attractive. Because of this tremendous improvement we removed the highest buffer size and replaced it with a 32 sample setting as lowest setting.
- Secure Record Technique. This driver includes a new scheme for handling record data. It guarantees all record data to reach the application even when the computer is blocked with 100% CPU load for a short time. We think this is a real killer feature, as there is nothing more important than reliability when doing recordings.
- The driver does not support MME, and will never do. If you need low latency MME for whatever reason, stay with the old driver. Note that all older MME software will work with the new driver, but will show more than 30 ms latency.
- This driver requires a newer version of DIGICheck, version 4.53. Please download it from the RME website, section Downloads/Add-Ons.
