32 kanaler med 10 ms latency. Eller blandar jag äpplen & päron? Iofs med Firewire,,,,

The X32 ships with the XUF interface card installed as standard, with selectable USB2 (on the square type-B socket) and Firewire 400 connectivity — though only one can be active at a time. The interfaces are compatible with Core Audio for Mac OS 10.5 and higher, or with Windows via downloadable ASIO drivers. Separate drivers are provided for USB, Firewire, and MIDI (for controlling a DAW using the Mackie Control/HUI protocols). Using Firewire on a MacBook I was able to happily record and play back 32 channels with a latency below 10ms.
A Behringer representative told me that the XUF interface card was deliberately restricted to FW/USB connectivity with no frills, purely for the sake of development speed. However, more option cards will follow, and they are “currently evaluating the next steps to take depending on the popularity of other interface formats like MADI, Dante, Thunderbolt, and so on.” Given the console’s strong live-sound emphasis, it would make sense for future interfaces to support common live-sound audio networking formats such as Cobranet, Ethersound, Dante, Ravenna and the IEEE AVB protocol. For the project studio market, multi-channel ADAT and AES3 interfaces will be a must — hopefully with word-clock I/O too. It would also be a welcome feature if the console could record its own mix buses or channel direct signals to an external drive, and I’m told there are plans for a card to enable this via USB.
Signal routing between the physical I/O and the DSP inputs and outputs is performed through a dedicated Routing menu page on the main display, where input sources are pre-allocated in blocks of eight. Each channel’s specific input source can then be selected from the preamp configuration display page, with a wider range of sources that includes all the internal buses. Each of the physical outputs is assigned from a sub-page of the same menu, with options to select the type of source (main LCR output, mix bus, matrix, direct out or monitor), the specific output within that subset, and the ‘tap’ point (pre/post EQ or pre/post fader). There is also a variable delay feature for time-alignment applications (up to 500ms — the equivalent of 170 metres).
