Interface Connections Chart: Standard Routing

(per Digidesign Core, Process or Accel card)

The following chart displays connection speciﬁcs for all possible combinations of HD com-

patible interfaces that may be connected to one HD Core, Process or Accel PCI card. There

is no limit to the number of PCI cards used beyond those limits imposed by the Digidesign

system itself.

In the leftmost column, a set of interfaces is depicted in the

required order.

The middle column indicates the manner that such a set should

appear in the Pro Tools Hardware Setup dialog; note that in many

cases two Apogee interfaces will appear as only one 192 I/O.

The third column indicates which of

the 32 possible I/O busses (per HD

PCI card) is in use. For example, three

Rosetta 800s appear in the Hardware

Setup as two “192 I/Os” but only I/O

channels 1-24 are used.

NOTE TO AMBus HD CARD USERS

In the following connection charts a Rosetta 800 symbol :

Represents a Trak2 or AD-8000 with an AMBus HD card installed

Important Conﬁguration Notes:

• Be sure to connect interfaces in the order indicated.

• With the AMBus HD card, the AD-8000 can interface directly with Pro Tools at sample

rates up to 48k. The Trak2 can interface with Pro Tools at sample rates up to 96k.

• The Prism ADA-8 is equivalent to a Digidesign interface, and must be placed ﬁrst in the

chain of interfaces.

• Later versions of “DigiSetup” include a hardware interface loop-through test.

The following error message is encountered with Apogee interfaces : “Peripheral Digi-

tal Loop Back Test; 1-16 failed”. This does not affect correct operation of the interface.
