Initializing MIX-Series Legacy I/Os
Before you can configure a Legacy I/O on a
Pro Tools|HD system, it must first be initialized
in Hardware Setup.
To initialize a Legacy I/O on a Pro Tools|HD
system:
1 Choose Setup > Hardware.
2 From the Peripherals list, choose the primary
audio interface (the Pro Tools|HD interface to
which your Legacy I/O is connected).
3 In the Main page of the Hardware Setup dia-
log, select the Legacy I/O option under Port Set-
tings.
4 In the Peripherals list, “No Interface” is listed
twice, directly below the primary audio inter-
face. Click the first No Interface. An Interface
pop-up menu appears in the Hardware Setup di-
alog, listing supported I/O choices.
5 From the Interface pop-up menu, select the
type of Legacy I/O connected to your
Pro Tools|HD audio interface.
After you select the type of Legacy I/O, the Main
page updates with controls that can be config-
ured. If your Legacy interface does not appear,
check connections and repeat from step 1,
above. See also “Offline Peripherals” on page 54.
6 Repeat the above steps for each additional
Legacy I/O.
To remove a Legacy I/O:
1 Lower the volume of your output devices.
2 Turn off your Legacy I/O.
3 Choose Setup > Hardware in Pro Tools.
4 In the Main Page of the Hardware Setup dia-
log, select the Expansion I/O option under Port
Settings.
5 In the Peripherals list, select the name of a
Legacy interface.
6 From the Interface pop-up menu, choose No In-
terface .
7 Repeat the above steps for each additional
Legacy I/O.
Offline Peripherals
When a Legacy I/O and Pro Tools|HD peripheral
are connected to your primary Pro Tools|HD pe-
ripheral, only one can be online at a time. An of-
fline peripheral is indicated by brackets in the
Peripherals list of the Hardware Setup dialog. For
example, if you have a 96 I/O and an 882|20
connected to a 192 I/O, and the 96 I/O is offline,
it will appear in the Peripherals list as [96 I/O].
Peripherals will also go offline if the audio inter-
face or card to which they are attached is made
inactive.
Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to scroll
though peripherals in the Peripherals list.
Before turning on your Legacy I/O, make
sure to lower the volume of your output de-
vices. Very loud digital noise may be emit-
ted before the Legacy I/O is initialized.
For information on Hardware Setup controls
for each Legacy I/O, refer to the guide for that
interface.
