Advanced Option Routing –
Additional Digital I/O
With Advanced Option routing, the AD and DA-16X offers additional digi-
tal I/O to Digidesign HD or Firewire-based audio systems. As depicted
in the routing diagram at left, when an X-HD card is installed in both
an AD and DA-16X, it becomes possible to route the DA-16X’s AES or
ADAT inputs to a Pro Tools session while routing the AD-16X’s AES and
ADAT outputs from the session. The AD-16X functions as a Digidesign
192 with 16 analog inputs and 16 digital outputs while the DA-16X func-
tions as a 192 with 16 digital inputs and 16 analog outputs. Of course,
the same functionality is possible with X-Firewire cards and a Firewire-
based audio system.
