| Design
based on S3 PCI Audio SonicVibes, MED6617 is as PCI 2.1 based
audio processor that integrates the capabilities of a
"sound card on a chip" – delivering affordable sound
quality previously found only in expensive, high-end studio
systems without sacrificing essential legacy support for the
huge installed base of Sound BlasterTM
compatible applications. With its PCI bus mastering capability,
it ensures extremely low system overhead for audio data
transfers, freeing the use of system memory for downloadable
MIDI patchsets or Microsoft DirectMusicTM
samples. The MED6617 PCI S3 SonicVibes also provides powerful
audio software enhancements, including wavetable, and SRS 3D
Surround acceleration-making it an ideal gaming platform on PC
and Internet. The Digital Game Port Timer improves overall
system performance by offloading from the CPU. |
Features
- Enable a substantial increase in performance by
moving audio acceleration from the 6MB/s (Megabytes per second) ISA

solution.
- These features include a speed compensation joystick
interface, the stereo auxiliary inputs and the patented stereo field
expansion circuitry of 3D Surround based on SRS Laboratories.
- Provide an unlimited sound palette through its
support of Microsoft's DirectMusic API.
- Full duplex for Interactive Audio : Record and
playback simultaneously.
- Integrated MIDI UART with FIFO for both input and
output with MPU-401 interface.
