The new cards supplement the existing eight channel Pristine Analogue Line input card, the eight channel Pristine Analogue Mic/Line input card, eight channel Pristine Analogue Line output card and the dual 3G SDI embedder/de-embedder card with sampling rate converter. Up-to eight cards of the digital type can installed and up-to six of the analogue cards can be accommodated. It is also possible to accommodate six analogue plus two digital cards at the same time.
