DIGIGRID DLS/DLI
4. SGP MODE: ADDING DIGILINK-COMPATIBLE I/OS
TO A SOUNDGRID NETWORK
In SGP mode, the DLS enables you to control a variety of DigiLink enabled I/Os, Pro Tools PCI or Thunderbolt interfaces are not used.
All connections between the DigiLink-compatible I/Os and your DAW are made via the DLI/DLS, through the SoundGrid ASIO/Core
Audio Driver.
This allows you to bridge your favorite DAW (Logic, Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton, Pro Tools Native, etc.) to SoundGrid applications and
other SoundGrid compatible devices.
With the DLS (or DLI with an external server) you can process plugins on the SoundGrid server using the StudioRack and eMotion
mixer.
4.1 Connections: I/O Mode vs. SGP Mode
In I/O mode, DigiLink-compatible I/O devices connect directly with Pro Tools HD/HDX processing cards. These, in turn, connect to
the DLI/DLS with a DigiLink cable. Finally, there is an Ethernet connection between the DLI/DLS and the SoundGrid network. This
conguration indicates that Pro Tools is running with an HD/HDX playback engine and is simply joining a SoundGrid network.
The opposite is true in SGP mode. The Pro Tools HD processing card is not used. Instead, DigiLink-compatible I/O hardware is
brought into a SoundGrid network, with DLI/DLS serving as a bridge. DLI/DLS becomes the audio interface, and the DigiLink-
compatible I/O devices serve as converters.
