VENUE HDx Connections
VENUE HDx is connected to Avid Pro Tools HDX, HD Native, or HD PCI or PCIe cards using the same
DigiLink or DigiLink Mini cables used to connect other Pro Tool HD equipment. When using multiple
connections between VENUE and Pro Tools HD, all DigiLink cables must be the same length.
DigiLink cables are bidirectional. When VENUE’s Stage inputs are active, the DigiLink cables carry
VENUE Stage Input channels to Pro Tools. When VENUE is in Virtual Soundcheck or Input mode, the
DigiLink cables carry Pro Tools channels to VENUE Stage Input channels. In all modes, assignable in-
puts and outputs are available independently for bi-directional signal routing.
When connected, VENUE HDx appears in the Pro Tools IO Setup and Hardware Setup dialogs.
