Windows 98 USB Support Announced for
All Emagic MIDI Interfaces
February 9, 2000
Emagic announces that Windows 98 USB MME Drivers for
Emagic's Unitor8 MkII, AMT8 and the MT4 will soon be available. This release
further demonstrates Emagic's commitment to all relevant industry standards.
In addition, this release enhances the profile of Emagic's MIDI interface
line as being the best cross-platform USB solution on the market.
The Unitor8 MkII is a 19", single rack-space, synchronizer and
MIDI interface for Mac and Windows 98. Each unit has eight independently
addressable MIDI input-output pairs. In addition, it can read and write
SMPTE as LTC and VITC and can burn the time display into the video picture.
The Unitor8 MkII allows for connection via USB port, RS-232 and RS-422
serial ports. The Unitor8 MkII is fully compatible with Emagic's Unitor8
and AMT8 interfaces and up to 8 units can be stacked to control complex
MIDI studios. The Unitor8 MkII includes Emagic's unique AMT (Active MIDI
Transmission) technology, eliminating the MIDI delay inherent in most
other MIDI interface units. In addition the Unitor8 MkII's firmware is
updateable via MIDI.
The AMT8, based on Emagic's successful Unitor8, 8x8 MIDI interface and
synchronizer, does not include SMPTE synchronization. The AMT8 is fully
compatible with Emagic's Unitor8 and Unitor8 MkII interfaces and up to
8 units can be stacked to control complex MIDI studios. The AMT8 includes
Emagic's unique AMT (Active MIDI Transmission) technology, eliminating
the MIDI delay inherent in most other MIDI interface units.
