DIGIGRID DLS/DLI
How Many Channels Can I Use?
A DLI/DLS device has two DL ports, each of which can carry up to 32 channels. The number of channels that you can use varies
depending on hardware and number of ports, connections, and assignments. Here are some examples of the number of I/O
channels that can be added to Pro Tools HD/X hardware systems.
Hardware Connection Number of I/O Channels
DLS/DLI DigiLink-compatible I/O expansion port 16 mono
DLS/DLI Directly to Avid PCI/e, single port 32 mono
DLS/DLI Port 1, directly to Avid PCI/e, single port
Port 2, DigiLink-compatible I/O expansion port
48 mono
DLS/DLI Directly to Avid PCI/e, two ports 64 mono
A single DLI/DLS supports a maximum of 64 channels.
Important-Some DigiLink-compatible I/Os cannot connect to the DLI/DLS via their secondary DigiLink port.
Once hardware is connected and congured, go to the Pro Tools I/O Setup page to conrm the number of channels you have
available. You will see at least one additional 192 Digital I/O devices (up to 4 192 Digital I/Os, each with 16 I/O channels).
The following examples present in a scaled manner how to connect the DLI/DLS into an existing setup.
Important – DLI/DLS Port 1 must be used before Port 2. If only one port is used, it must be Port 1.
