Description
The HD I/O 8x8x8 Analogue from Avid is a high-performance Pro Tools HD Series audio interface that is designed to completely integrate with Pro Tools HD systems. Available in three different configurations, this version provides eight analogue inputs and outputs, with an additional 8 channels of AES/EBU I/O, or 8 channels of TDIF I/O, or 8 channels of ADAT Lightpipe.
Although it bears a physical resemblance to previous interfaces, the HD I/O has been completely redesigned with high quality convertors and premium input and output circuitry. The interface provides maximum performance, dependability, and control of all inputs, outputs, and routing right from the Pro Tools software interface. Sample rate conversion is available on the digital card.
The Digital I/O card contains connectors for eight channels each of AES/EBU I/O, TDIF I/O, and optical (ADAT) I/O. Only one digital format can be used at a time. A single card slot is available for further expansion.
Features
- 8 input / 8 output analogue audio interface with full Pro Tools|HD integration for complete input, output and routing control
- 8 channels of AES/EBU I/O in addition to the 2 fixed channels of AES/EBU available on the chassis
- Stereo AES/EBU, stereo S/PDIF and 8 channels of ADAT digital I/O with built-in sample rate conversion
