Chapter 2: 96 I/O Hardware Overview 7
Expansion Port and Legacy Port
Expansion Port
The Expansion port is where the DigiLink cable
connects an additional HD I/O to your base, or
primary, HD I/O. This port passes channels
17–32 to the secondary, or expansion, I/O.
Legacy Port
This port is used to connect MIX-series Digide-
sign audio interfaces to 96 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 origi-
nal ADAT Bridge I/O) for expanded input and
output options, using their original cables.
When the Legacy port has been activated from
within Pro Tools, your MIX-series I/O will ap-
pear as channels 17–32 in the Pro Tools mixer.
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, you can only use one
at a time.
To select the Legacy or Expansion ports, refer to
the
Pro Tools Reference Guide .
The Legacy port is not available in any session in
which the sample rate is set for higher than
48 kHz.
Accessory Port
This port is not supported at this time.
