The system hardware consists of a new PCI card and an external AD/DA
converter box. The card hosts stereo analog and stereo S/PDIF digital inputs
and outputs. The converter box adds another eight analog I/Os. Luna can
operate all of these channels in full 24-bit resolution at 96 kHz speed at
the same time. Furthermore, the system can easily be expanded with additional
I/Os, up to 36 I/Os per unit, and two units can be linked via S/TDM bus.

Luna II comes with an extensive driver set for PC and Mac. It includes
drivers for ASIO, ASIO 2.0, EASI, DirectSound, MME, tripleDAT, OMS, and Sound
Manager. The GigaSampler Interface is also supported. The system is equipped
with CreamWare's Ultra Low Latency Interface (ULLI). With this technology,
audio driver latencies can be adjusted to a minimum of 2 msec.
The Luna system incorporates a 24-channel mixing software. With the on-board
DSPs, the mixer can also integrate external equipment, such as hardware
synths or effects processors, into the setup, and handle all audio in
realtime, without perceptible latency.
Luna II is also capable of handling surround sound. A
specialized 16-channel mixing application for the creation of 5.1 surround
mixes is included in the package. With five surround channels plus one LFE
channel, Luna supports today's most common surround formats. This feature
was specifically designed for multimedia and film composers, and for DVD
authoring.

Another unique feature of the Luna software package is its free-routing
window. It provides the user with a precise overview of the current routing
setup and permits the quick and easy creation of any desired signal routing
between drivers, hardware I/Os, and the mixing application, all via virtual
cables. Any number of setups can be created and saved for later instant
recall.
