DSP Usage on TDM systems
On Pro Tools HD and HD Accel systems,
TL Space can be instantiated as TL Space Short,
Medium and Long. The plug-in name displayed
in the menu refers to the maximum reverb time
as shown in Table 12 on page 86.
The different versions of TL Space have different
DSP usage requirements. A Pro Tools HD card
contains nine identical DSP chips. A Pro Tools
HD Accel card contains nine DSP chips, four of
which offer external SRAM. In some modes,
TL Space requires Accel chips with external
SRAM. Table 14 shows the TL Space DSP require-
ments by reverb time.
The number of DSP chips required is a function
of the number of inputs and outputs, and the
type of processing in use. The maximum chip
usage is 8 DSP chips across two HD Accel cards.
Table 15 shows the TL Space DSP requirements
by channel.
These numbers represent the maximum possi-
ble DSP usage of TL Space Long. For example, TL
Space Medium has only 50% of the DSP require-
ment in supported stereo and quad channel for-
mats.
CPU Usage
On all Pro Tools systems, TL Space can be in-
stantiated as an RTAS plug-in. This impacts the
performance of the CPU. CPU usage can be
monitored in the System Usage window.
