Chapter 6: System Setup 77
Configuring Digital Format and
Hardware Routing
The Hardware Setup includes additional settings
for configuring the digital format and hardware
routing for your system’s audio interfaces.
For an outline of the configuration of an Avid
HDX, Pro Tools|HD, or HD Native system with
one or more Avid HD interfaces, see “Configuring
Avid HDX, Pro Tools|HD, and HD Native Hard-
ware Settings” on page 77.
Selecting Footswitch Control
(003 and 002 Only)
The footswitch connector on your 003 or 002 fam-
ily interface lets you use a footswitch pedal to con-
trol either playback start/stop or recording
punch in/out. Both QuickPunch audio punch-in
and punch-out and MIDI punch-in and punch-out
recording are supported.
Record Punch In/Out Select this option to use a
footswitch connected to your 003 or 002 family in-
terface to punch in and punch out during recording.
Playback Start/Stop Select this option to use a
footswitch connected to your 003 or 002 family in-
terface to start and stop playback.
Configuring Avid HDX,
Pro Tools|HD, and HD Native
Hardware Settings
On Avid HDX, Pro Tools|HD, and HD Native sys-
tems, you configure Hardware settings for each au-
dio interface connected to your system (see
Chapter 5, “Pro Tools Systems.”)
For example, Avid HDX, Pro Tools|HD, and
HD Native systems can have HD I/O, HD OMNI,
HD MADI, 192 I/O, 192 Digital I/O, 96 I/O, or
96i I/O audio interfaces connected to HDX,
HD Native, Accel Core or HD Core, and
HD Accel or HD Process cards in the system. The
HD I/O, HD OMNI, 192 I/O, 192 Digital I/O, and
96 I/O can also have additional interfaces attached
using the Expansion port on each interface.
Identifying Audio Interfaces
If you have multiple audio interfaces of the same
type connected to your system, before you make
audio connections to them, you should confirm the
identity of each interface. This ensures that you
choose the appropriate interface in the Peripherals
list when you define its inputs and outputs in the
Hardware Setup.
To identify audio interfaces in your system:
1 Choose Setup > Hardware.
2 From the Peripherals list, select an audio inter-
face connected to your system.
3 Make sure the Main page is shown.
To configure specific hardware settings for
other Pro Tools or third-party audio inter-
faces, see the documentation that came with
your audio interface.
Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to scroll
though the Peripherals list in the Hardware
Setup.
