Card bay 4 is left open for you to add more I/O at your discretion. For example, the stock configuration is eight analog ins on card bay 1, eight analog outs on card bay 2 and digital I/O in card bay 3. It’s designed with maximum flexibility in mind, having four I/O card bays, one of which can be loaded with your choice of analog or digital connections. This is the box that allows 24-bit/192kHz recording and playback. The PC you’ll need for Pro Tools|HD must have a P3 or P4 processor and must be using Windows XP, Professional or Home.ĭigidesign’s crowning new interface is the two-space 192 I/O. (No official release date announced yet.) Near the end of this field test, support for PC computers was announced with the release of Version 5.3.1 for Windows. 9.1 through 9.2.2 are currently supported, and Digi is hard at work on OS X support. To run HD, you’ll need a “Digidesign-qualified” Power Macintosh, which translates to a G4 (AGP-based) with as much system RAM as possible (crucial for high track counts). (Adding a second HD Process card, like the HD 3 configuration, only increases DSP power and not track count.) Pull-up/pull-down sample rates are now available for every sample rate. Add an HD Process card, and the track count increases to 64 tracks at 88.2/96 kHz and 24 tracks at 176.4 or 192 kHz. For example, using the HD Core card alone at 88.2 or 96 kHz, you can have up to 48 tracks, while at 176.4 or 192 kHz, the maximum number of tracks is 12. ![]() ![]() Depending on a session’s sampling rate, maximum track count will vary. The maximum track count using the HD Core and at least one HD Process card, on a 48- or 44.1kHz session, is up from the previous 64 tracks to 128 tracks. Up to six HD Process cards can be used with a single HD Core card for a whole lotta dedicated processing power. Thirty-two channels of I/O are available per card, and each card packs nine Motorola 56k DSP chips, which are 25% more powerful than the MIX cards’ chips this translates to about twice the voice count and DSP power in a 44.1- or 48kHz session. Add two HD Process cards and, you guessed it, that’s the HD 3. Add one HD Process card (which is what the new DSP Farm cards are called), and you have the HD 2 system. ![]() (System prices are shown in the sidebar “Pro Tools|HD Prices.”) HD 1 includes a single “HD Core” card. There are three different setups to choose from: Pro Tools|HD 1, HD 2 or HD 3. If you’re familiar with the Pro Tools|24 MIX and MIXplus systems, then understanding the new HD system will be a walk in the park. The big questions on everyone’s minds are, what does it sound like and is it time to update my system? In order to answer these questions, we installed a complete HD system (three cards and three interfaces for 32 channels of analog output, 16 channels of analog input and 32 channels of digital I/O) at the cozy and very reputable Infinite Studios in Alameda, Calif. There has certainly been enough talk about it, and its 24-bit/192kHz recording rate is raising plenty of eyebrows.
