HDX Hardware Overview
This chapter describes each component of an HDX hardware accelerated ProToolsHD system. The
number of HDX cards in your system will differ depending on your system configuration.
HDX Hardware
HDX PCIe Card
A single HDXPCIe card provides up to 256 voiceable tracks of direct-to-disk recording and playback,
as well as DSP power for mixing and plug-in processing. The HDX card supports up to 24-bit, 192kHz
ProTools sessions.

DigiLink Mini Ports Power Cable
The HDX card provides two DigiLink Mini ports HDX PCIe cards require power beyond what the
for connecting up to four HD audio interfaces PCIe bus can deliver. A custom power cable
for up to 64 channels of audio input and output. (included) is used to connect HDX PCIe cards to
the motherboard in your Mac or to a hard drive
DigiSerial Port power source in your PC.
The Serial port on the HDX card is for connect-
ing a SYNC peripheral. This connector is an
8-pin mini-DIN.
The Serial port on an HDX card does not sup-
port MachineControl connections.
If you have more than one HDX card with a
SYNC peripheral, you must connect the SYNC
peripheral to the first card in the system.
HDX TDM Cable
HDX card power cable (Mac)
Use the included HDX TDM cable (a SATA ca-
ble) to connect a pair of HDX cards in your sys-
tem so they can share data along the TDM bus.
One HDX TDM cable comes with each HDX card.
