The audio input and output channels are scalable in steps of 4, meaning Harvey variants can cover the requirements of a small project with an 8x8 audio matrix to special applications such as 4x24 channels.

Further features include excellent audio quality, low constant latency and simple configuration of complex signal processing. Control options include serial ports, ethernet and DMX, as well as the addition of Dante, while the menu-based Composer software handles setup and projection creation duties.

Cryto-miners, GPU Market Drivers

E-mail Print PDF

Jon Peddie Research (JPR) reports Q4 2017 GPU shipments are down by -1.5% on a Q-o-Q basis following "normal seasonal shipments," while shipments dropped by -4.8% for the full year 2017.

GPUFor overall 2017, desktop graphics shipments are down by -2% and notebooks decreased by -7%. Vendors released 363 new GPU products in 2017. As for the main market drivers, JPR says that while cryptocurrency miners bought over 3 million add-in-boards (AIB) worth $776 million in 2017, gaming remains the primary GPU sales driver.

As such, the analyst predicts demand from crypto-miners will decline, as the use of GPUs for currency mining should eventually become less economical. Further dampening the appeal of GPUs are advanced ASIC manufacturing projects from the likes of Samsung and TSMC. However, as the situation currently stands AMD is making a killing from cryptocurrencies, with Q4 2017 shipments growing by 8.08% Q-o-Q.
