Connecting HD MADI
Pro Tools|HD Systems
You can get a full 64 channels of MADI I/O with
HD MADI connected to two Pro Tools|HD cards
using two DigiLink Mini cables. If you have
more than two Pro Tools|HD cards in your sys-
tem (such as with a Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel sys-
tem), you can add additional Pro Tools|HD au-
dio interfaces (such as HD I/O or HD OMNI).
To connect HD MADI to a Pro Tools|HD 2 or
greater system:
1 Connect HD MADI Primary Port 1 to the Digi-
Link Port on the Pro Tools|HD Accel Core card
with the included DigiLink Mini to DigiLink ca-
ble.
2 Connect HD MADI Primary Port 2 to the Digi-
Link Port on the Pro Tools|HD Accel card with
the included DigiLink Mini to DigiLink cable.

Pro Tools|HD cards, see the Pro Tools|HD
