Apollo 16 Hardware Manual Interconnections 20
Thunderbolt Setup
This diagram illustrates how Apollo 16 can be connected to a host computer with the Thunderbolt Option Card.
Key points for this example:
• The Thunderbolt Option Card (not included) must be installed in Apollo 16 to connect via Thunderbolt
• Either Thunderbolt port can be used for the host computer connection
• A UAD-2 PCIe card in an external Thunderbolt expansion chassis is daisy-chained to second port in
Thunderbolt Option Card
• Monitors with AES/EBU input are connected to AES/EBU output
• The “AES/EBU Mirrors Monitor 1-2” option is enabled in Console Settings so Apollo 16’s front panel
MONITOR knob can control the volume level of the speakers with AES/EBU input
• An external FireWire 800 device is connected to Apollo 16 (the Thunderbolt Option Card enables Apollo
16 to behave as a FireWire 800 hub)
• Either FireWire port can be used for the external FireWire hard drive connection
