Introduction
96kHz Convolver Hardware Requirements
The 96kHz Convolver Tool
The 96kHz Convolver software is designed for high sample
rate, long, low-latency convolution of 96kHz digital signals.
The software interface to the 96kHz Convolver operates in the
same manner as the standard Lake Convolver application, with
the following differences:
• To run the 96kHz Convolver, specific hardware internal and
external to the Huron is required.
• The 96kHz Convolver utilises filters specific to 96kHz
convolution.
• By virtue of the way 96kHz signals are handled in the
Engineering tools, the appearance and manner of patching
the 96kHz Convolver in the Patch Bay is different to that of
the normal Engineering Tools.
Rather than recast the standard Convolver documentation in
terms of the 96kHz version, this sub-section focuses only on the
differences between the two, allowing the user to substitute the
information contained here for the relevant sections in standard
Convolver documentation.
The 96 kHz Convolver tool provides a flexible and powerful
interface to high sample rate, long, low latency convolution
technology. This high sample rate Convolver mirrors the
functionality of the standard Lake (48kHz) Convolver, however
it works with a 96kHz digital input signal.
In order to run the 96kHz Convolver the following Hardware is
required:
• 1 Huron with at least 4 DSPs available.
• 1 Two channel AES/EBU Digital Input Module without
sample rate conversion (synchronous).
• 1 Two channel AES/EBU Digital Output Module.
• 1 96kHz Input device, which must support data formatted as
odd and even samples in the left and right channels of a
standard AES/EBU stream. This device may be a 96kHz
Analogue to Digital converter.
