192 I/O Guide16
Hardware Setup
The Hardware Setup dialog shows you a list of
all audio interfaces in the system as well as I/O
routing and clock selections for your HD I/Os.
The Hardware Setup also allows you to set spe-
cial options unique to the 192 I/O.
Hardware Setup automatically configures itself
to default settings for each HD-series card and
peripheral it detects. The Hardware Setup dialog
also lets you change default settings, and config-
ure expansion audio interfaces (including Leg-
acy peripherals).
Configuring Hardware Setup
(Audio Interfaces)
The Main tab of the Hardware Setup dialog is
where you define what physical ports are routed
to Pro Tools input and output channels. Think
of this window as a patchbay that allows you to
route any of the physical inputs or outputs to
Pro Tools mixer inputs and outputs.
The Main tab also provides controls for session
Sample Rate, synchronization settings, and to
define whether Expansion port or Legacy port
peripherals are active. Sample Rate can only be
changed when there is no session open.
Additional tabs are available to configure other
parameters on each audio interface (such as set-
ting operating levels).
You must select an HD I/O from the Peripherals
column in order to change settings on a specific
interface in expanded I/O system.
