Avid Pro Tools|HDX

 system includes Pro Tools HD DAW software, HDX DSP-acceleration card and HD I/O 8x8x8 audio interface. By far, Avid Pro Tools|HDX system is the most powerful, versatile, and professional DAW system to ever hit the recording world.

Avid Pro Tools HD 10 is the most comprehensive audio and music production environment to date. Powerful new AAX plug-ins, ultra-fast workflows, and over 50 more exciting new features give you more flexibility than ever before. Whether you run a recording facility, editing suite, or post-production house, Avid Pro Tools HD 10 is going to rock your world!

Avid HDX card is like having about the equivalent of an HD3 or HD4 system on a single card. To put it mildly, that's a ton of DSP power for your DAW! What's more, there's a separate FPGA processor for your mix bus, so all of your HDX card's DSP power is dedicated to running plug-ins. Each HDX card gives you 256 voices, a full four times the routing capacity of an Accel card. That means you can freely use Avid's new AAX plug-ins, without worrying about running out of voices.

Digidesign HD I/O Pro Tools HD Series audio interface is designed to completely integrate with Pro Tools HD systems. Available in three different configurations, this version provides eight analog inputs and outputs, with an additional 8 channels of AES/EBU I/O, or 8 channels of TDIF I/O, or 8 channels of ADAT Lightpipe.

The HD I/O has been completely redesigned with high quality converters and premium I/O circuitry, although it bears a physical resemblance to previous interfaces. The interface offers maximum performance, dependability and control of all inputs, outputs, and routing right from the Pro Tools software interface. Sample rate conversion is available on the digital card.
