appendix a
DSP Requirements for TDM Plug-Ins
The tables on the following pages show the total
number of instances of each Digidesign TDM
plug-in that can be powered by a single DSP
chip on Pro Tools|HD-series and MIX-series
cards. DSP usage differs according to card type.
There are a total of 9 DSP chips on a
Pro Tools|HD card. Though there are a total of 6
DSP chips on a Pro Tools|24 MIX card, certain
plug-ins, such as the Mod Delays, require a spe-
cific type of DSP chip to function. The tables in-
dicate the number of compatible chips per card
for each plug-in.
Plug-ins used in multi-mono format on greater-
than-stereo tracks require one mono instance
per channel of the multichannel audio format.
The tables that follow show theoretical
maximum performance when no other
plug-ins are sharing available DSP re-
sources. You will typically use more than
one type of plug-in simultaneously.
