192 Digital I/O Guide 8
Legacy Port
This port is used to connect MIX-series Digide-
sign audio interfaces to the 192 Digital I/O. You
can connect two eight-channel interfaces (such
as the 888|24 or 882|20) or a single sixteen-
channel interface (1622 I/O, 24-bit ADAT Bridge
I/O, or the original ADAT Bridge I/O) for ex-
panded input and output options, using their
original cables.
To connect HD or Legacy audio interfaces, refer
to the
Getting Started with HD Guide .
Legacy and Expansion Peripheral Port
Limitations
Because both the Legacy port and the Expansion
port use channels 17–32 of the DigiLink, only
one of the two ports is available at a time.
To select the Legacy or Expansion ports, refer to
the
Pro Tools Reference Guide .
The Legacy port is not available for sessions with
the sample rate set for higher than 48 kHz.
Accessory Port
This port is not supported at this time.
DigiLink Connections
DigiLink cables make the vital connection be-
tween your HD Core or HD Process card and
your HD ports. DigiLink cables are also used to
interconnect multiple HD I/Os together to ex-
pand total system I/O.
