Interface Connections Chart: Standard Routing
(per Digidesign Core, Process or Accel card)
The following chart displays connection specifics for all possible combinations of HD-
compatible 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.
Important Configuration Notes:
• Be sure to connect interfaces in the order indicated.
• The Apogee AD-8000 and Trak2, not shown on the chart, are equivalent to a Rosetta 800.
• The Rosetta 200 is equivalent to the Rosetta 800.
• The Prism ADA-8 is equivalent to a Digidesign interface, and must be placed first in the
chain of interfaces.
• If a Digidesign 96 is placed before a Rosetta 800 192k, no inputs from the Rosetta will
be available in sessions at 192k. In this case, better to connect each interface to it’s
own PCI card.
• 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.
• When running sessions at 192k, only 24 busses are available for each PCI card, 12 per
192 interface.
