Pro Tools | Carbon: Reserved for Pro Tools
The Pro Tools | Carbon: Reserved for Pro Tools device is dedicated to Pro Tools. The available AVB input and output channels are
determined by the selected AVB Device Configuration (see AVB Device Configuration in AMS).
AVB Device Configuration
Pro Tools | Carbon requires a direct connection to a computer using AVB Ethernet. The AVB Ethernet connection provides up to 56 in-
put channels and 84 output channels of AVB audio between Pro Tools | Carbon and Pro Tools, and up to 28 input channels and 28 output
channels of AVB audio between Pro Tools | Carbon and third-party Core Audio–compatible software.
Pro Tools | Carbon provides six different AVB device configurations for input and output channels with Pro Tools or third-party Core
Audio–compatible software. The selected configuration determines the maximum number of record-enabled input channels and the
maximum number of output channels in DSP Mode available in Pro Tools.
Certain configurations also affect the number of available channels when using the Pro Tools | Carbon: I/O device with third-party Core
Audio applications. Use a smaller configuration to reduce the load on the host processor. Use a larger configuration to increase mixing
capacity in Pro Tools for more complex routing of low latency paths using DSP Mode.
Never use the “Pro Tools | Carbon: Reserved for Pro Tools” device for Mac System Sound Input or Output (System Preferences>
Sound). Only use the “Pro Tools | Carbon: I/O” device for Mac System Sounds.
