E6L Engine Overview 46
E6L Engine Overview
The E6L engine provides the real-time processing engine for input and output channels, and Pro Tools | HDX DSP processing
card(s) for AAX DSP plug-ins. The E6L engine also provides audio network, synchronization, and utility connections. All E6L en-
gine models provide the same connection capabilities.
E6L Cards and Features
You can install the following expansion cards in E6L engines.
HDX-192 DSP Expansion Cards
Each E6L engine provides a single HDX DSP card in its basic configuration. E6L-192 engines support up to four HDX DSP Ex-
pansion Cards, for increased plug-in processing. E6L-144 and E6L-112 engines support up to two HDX DSP Expansion Cards. For
installation instructions, see the HDX-192 DSP Installation.pdf.
AVB-192 Network Card
Each E6L includes one AVB-192 Network Card for connecting the E6L to other components in the system. You can add a second
AVB-192 card to expand the IO capability of the system, and to connect multiple systems to utilize I/O Sharing. For installation
instructions, see the AVB-192 Network Card.pdf.
MADI-192 MADI Option Card
The MADI-192 MADI Option Card is a high-channel-count MADI audio interface card for E6L engines. Each MADI-192 MADI
Option Card provides four MADI BNC connectors (2x coaxial in, and 2x coaxial out). Each pair of coaxial MADI inputs and out-
puts support up to 32 channels per I/O pair.
Up to four MADI Option cards can be installed in an E6L-192 or E6L-144 engine. Up to two MADI Option cards can be installed
in an E6L-112 engine. For installation instructions, see the MADI-192 MADI Card Installation guide.
WSG-HD Waves SoundGridOption Cards
The WSG-HD Waves SoundGrid Option Card from Avid lets you integrate Waves SoundGrid processing directly into your
VENUE | S6L mixes. Once the WSG-HD Card is installed in your E6L engine, plug-ins hosted on the Waves SoundGrid server ap-
pear on the VENUE Plug-Ins screen inside of the Waves SoundGrid Rack plug-in (up to 8 plug-ins per instance of SoundGrid
Rack). Up to two compatible Waves SoundGrid servers can be connected simultaneously for redundancy with automatic fail-over.
At the time of this writing, all E6L engines support a single WSG-HD card. In E6L-112 engines, either a single WSG-HD card or
a second MADI-192 MADI Option card can be installed. For installation instructions, see the
WSG-HD Card Installation guide.
While in use, the E6L engine must be oriented horizontally, with the bottom of the engine facing downwards.
Each MADI-192 MADI Option Card also has a single BNC Word Clock Output connector. At the time of this writing, the
Word Clock Output connector is not supported and should not be used.
