AVID Hd I/O 8X8X8 Pro Tools Analog And Digital Interface
The HD I/O 8x8x8 Analog from Avid is a high-performance Pro Tools HD Series audio interface that is professionally designed capable to completely integrate with Pro Tools HD systems. Available in three different configurations, this version is designed for providing an eight analog inputs and outputs, it comes with an additional 8 channels of AES/EBU I/O, or 8 channels of TDIF I/O, or 8 channels of ADAT Lightpipe.
Although it bears a physical resemblance to previous interfaces, the HD I/O has been completely redesigned along with high quality converters and premium input and output circuitry. The interface is designed for providing a 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.
The Digital I/O card comes containing the connectors for eight channels each of AES/EBU I/O, TDIF I/O, and optical (ADAT) I/O. Only one digital format can be used at a time. A single card slot is available for further expansion.
Note:
A minimum of Pro Tools HD 8.1 or higher software is required to use this interface. A free update is available for download to all registered Pro Tools HD 8.x users.
