Pro Tools Connection
Confirm that your Red unit’s Host setting is set to ‘Pro Tools’, see Global Host Settings on page 23.
Connect both rear panel PRIMARY ports to a Pro Tools | HDX card or HD Native system using Mini
DigiLink cables.
Each Pro Tools | HDX PCIe card provides two Mini DigiLink ports (giving the card a capacity of 64
inputs and 64 outputs), thus one Red unit may be connected to each card.
A Red unit will appear as four devices in Pro Tools:
A: 1-16 (Port 1)
B: 1-16 (Port 1)
C: 1-16 (Port 2)
D: 1-16 (Port 2)
A maximum of three* Red range units can be connected,
giving a total I/O capability of 174 inputs and 192 outputs.
*Or one if using an HD Native system.
Note that both ports are Primary connectors; this means that an additional Pro Tools interface cannot be added in
series – the ports do not operate in Expansion mode.
Using Red Range Units with other Pro Tools |
HD interfaces
Pro Tools | HD I/O audio interfaces may be used on the
same Pro Tools system as your Red unit. Pro Tools interface
units can be added by using additional Pro Tools | HDX PCIe
interface cards.
Connection to a Pro Tools | HD system would require the use of DigiLink
-to- Mini DigiLink adapter cables.
Each unit will appear as four devices using HDX or HD Native, which is
the maximum per card.
Loop Sync
It is important when using additional I/O devices that the
Loop Sync connection is complete between all units:
• Using 75Ω BNC cables, connect each LOOP SYNC OUT
connector to the LOOP SYNC IN connector on the next
I/O unit
• Complete the chain by connecting LOOP SYNC OUT on
the final I/O unit back to LOOP SYNC IN on the first unit
