Manufacturer's Description for Frontier Design Montana Expansion Card for Dakota

In the past, expanding the number of audio input and output channels in a computer-based audio workstation was an expensive and difficult problem. Frontier Design Group means to change all that.

Meet Montana, an inexpensive expansion card that doubles Dakota's optical I/O to an impressive 32 inputs and 32 outputs! Like Dakota, Montana has 2 pairs of ADAT optical ports, providing 16 input and output channels, all with 24-bit resolution.

Montana includes additional synchronization features that are normally found in expensive external hardware synchronization boxes. An RCA input synchronizes the computer to an external video signal (NTSC or PAL) or to an external audio word clock. Video sync can also come from an internal header, for direct connection to a digital video board. Montana also has an ADAT 9-pin sync output. For maximum flexibility, Montana features a dual-slot layout so it can be installed in either a PCI or ISA slot next to Dakota.

Features:
2 ADAT optical inputs (16 additional channels)
