Chapter 7: I/O Setup 95
I/O Setup Signal Path
Controls
Depending on the I/O Setup page, the I/O Setup
provides the following controls in its graphical
section for configuring signal routing paths.
Input and Output Selectors Let you select the
physical ports on your audio interface to route to
Pro Tools inputs and outputs. Ports are selectable
in channel pairs. Available ports for each dis-
played interface are based on Hardware Setup set-
tings; for example, if the AES/EBU inputs and out-
puts of an interface are enabled in Hardware Setup,
they are available for routing in I/O Setup. The
functionality provided with the Input and Output
selector is the same as that provided on the Main
page of the Hardware Setup.
Path Name Column Shows paths that are available
for selection, including the name of each defined
path. Path names can be renamed.
Expand/Collapse Triangle Shows or hides the sub-
paths associated with a main path (Input and Bus
paths only).
Active/Inactive Status Box Shows and changes
the active/inactive status of each path.
Path Format Selector Shows and selects the
type/format (such as Mono, Stereo, Quad, or 5.1)
of each defined path (greater-than-stereo multi-
channel formats are supported with Pro Tools HD
and Pro Tools with Complete Production Toolkit
only).
Channel Grid Assigns paths to specific interfaces
and channels.
