DIGIGRID DLS/DLI
How to Use this Manual
DiGiGrid DLI and DLS each work in two dierent modes for two dierent purposes. You may want your Pro Tools HD/HDX or HD Native
to have more I/Os and more plugins processing. Or you may want to add DigiLink-compatible I/Os to your networked Native DAWs.
A DLS or DLI unit can only be in one mode at a time. If you use two or more units they can be in dierent modes.
For this reason we’ve divided this manual into three main sections:
■
Getting Started An overview of DiGiGrid DLI/DLS, plus system requirements, installation, product licensing, etc.
■
I/O mode: Integrating Pro Tools HD/HDX and HD Native Systems into a SoundGrid Network (Chapters 2-3): Everything you
need to know about connecting, conguring, and working in I/O mode in order to integrate Pro Tools HD/HDX and HD Native
systems, DigiLink-compatible I/O devices, and the SoundGrid Studio System.
■
SGP Mode: Adding DigiLink-Compatible I/Os to a SoundGrid Network (Chapters 4-7): This section describes the various ways
to add DigiLink-compatible I/O devices to a SoundGrid network.
Once you are up and running with the mode you’re using, you might look through the other section in order to learn more about
DLI/DLS. For example, SGP mode has more clocking options, so I/O users can study the SGP clock section to better understand how
DLI/DLS manages clock.
Throughout this manual, we refer to DLI and DLS interfaces as “DLI/DLS” whenever purpose, connection, conguration, and
application are the same for both devices. When referring to something unique to a specic model, we use that model’s name only.
