We recommend that you read through the manual to acquire an overview of the installation
procedure and use of the LT-HD. This manual will presume a working knowledge of the Aurora
converter. For additional information, please refer to the Aurora owner’s manual.

3.2 Optional Equipment
DigiLink cables (available from Digidesign) are required for connection to ProTools HD cards.
3.3 Operation Requirements
The LT-HD requires your Aurora converter to have Firmware Version 14 or later. This should
be verified prior to installing and configuring the LT-HD card. To determine what firmware
revision your Aurora has, press the TRIM and POWER buttons at the same time with the power
to the Aurora off. If the LED flashes over the numbers 1 & 4 or above (i.e. 1&5, 1&6, etc.),
then your unit is compatible with the LT-HD. If pressing Power and Trim does not cause any
LEDs to flash, or causes a single number to flash, then your unit needs to be updated.
Updating the Aurora firmware to version 14 requires a Lynx AES16 PCI audio interface. If your
Aurora has firmware version 13 it can also be updated by a Windows PC or OSX Macintosh via
MIDI, or by a Windows PC via Infrared. The Aurora firmware updater program is available for
download from the Lynx website at Support > Latest Driver Download. If your unit requires an
AES16 to update because it has rev 12 or earlier, and you do not have access to one, there are
two options for customers within the USA and Canada:
• Option 1: Send the Aurora and LT-HD to Lynx Studio Technology in California. We will
update the Aurora, install the LT-HD and do a full diagnostic test within one day of
receipt. It will be return shipped via 2-Day Air.
• Option 2: Lynx Studio Technology will loan you an AES16 for updating the firmware in
your Aurora. For more information on the procedure and any questions, contact
[email protected] or call 949-515-8265 ext 206.
If you are outside of the USA or Canada, please contact your local distributor for
additional firmware update options.
The Aurora/ LT-HD (an LT-HD equipped Aurora) also requires a correctly installed and
configured ProTools|HD system with Digidesign Core, Accel or Process card(s).
