Configuring Digidesign Pro Tools®
Hardware Setup
The Hardware Setup and I/O Setup dialogs are the two primary tools within Pro Tools software used to config-
ure hardware. The Hardware Setup dialog serves to define which physical I/O connections on detected hardware
are routed to the 32 I/O busses available through each HD PCI card (on the DigiLink cable), while the I/O Setup
dialog serves to label and map the manner in which these 32 busses appear in Pro Tools software.
As the audio I/O of Apogee interfaces differs from that of a 192 I/O, a connected Apogee interface will ignore
all settings in the Hardware Setup which pertain to audio I/O on the hardware. To define how audio I/O on an
Apogee interface is routed to the 32 I/O busses (through the X-HD card), settings should be configured from the
unit’s front panel.
