Configuring Legacy I/Os
Before you can configure a Legacy I/O, it must
first be initialized in Hardware Setup.
To initialize a Legacy I/O on a Pro Tools|HD
system:
1 Start up your Pro Tools system. See “Starting
Up or Shutting Down Your System” on page 33.
2 From the Peripherals list, choose the primary
audio interface (the interface to which your Leg-
acy I/O is connected).
3 In the Main page of the Hardware Setup dia-
log, select the Legacy I/O option under Port Set-
tings.
4 In the Peripherals list, “No Interface” is listed
twice, directly below the primary audio inter-
face. Click the first “No Interface.” An Interface
pop-menu appears in the Hardware Setup dia-
log, listing supported I/O choices.
5 From the Interface pop-up, select the type of
Legacy I/O you connected.
After you select the type of Legacy I/O, the Main
page updates with controls that can be config-
ured. If your Legacy interface does not appear,
check connections and repeat from step 1,
above. See also “To remove a Legacy I/O:” on
page 50.
6 Repeat the above steps for each additional
Legacy I/O.
To remove a Legacy I/O:
1 Lower the volume of your output devices.
2 Turn off your Legacy I/O.
3 Choose Setup > Hardware in Pro Tools.
4 In the Main Page of the Hardware Setup dia-
log, select the Expansion I/O option under Port
Settings.
5 In the Peripherals list, select the name of a
Legacy interface.
6 From the Interface pop-up menu, choose “No
Interface.”
7 Repeat the above steps for each additional
Legacy I/O.
Offline Peripherals
When a Legacy I/O and Pro Tools|HD peripheral
are connected to your primary Pro Tools|HD pe-
ripheral, only one can be online at a time. An of-
fline peripheral is indicated by brackets in the
Peripherals list of the Hardware Setup dialog. For
example, if you have a 96 I/O and an 882|20
connected to a 192 I/O, and the 96 I/O is offline,
it will appear in the Peripherals list as “[96 I/O].”
Peripherals will also go offline if the audio inter-
face or card to which they are attached is made
inactive.
The 96i I/O only supports analog and digi-
tal switching for channels 1–2, and only
from within the Hardware Setup and I/O
Setup dialogs. The 96i I/O does not support
path remapping within I/O Setup.
Before turning on your Legacy I/O, make
sure to lower the volume of your output de-
vices. Very loud digital noise may be emit-
ted before the Legacy I/O is initialized.
For information on Hardware Setup controls
for each Legacy I/O, refer to the guide for that
interface.
