8.3 PRO TOOLS™
8.3.1 Installation
During the installation, select the RTAS/HTDM plug-in (RTAS only for PC) among the
choice of plug-ins offered. Then, when you are asked, indicate the folder where the other
RTAS and HTDM plug-ins are installed. Generally the access is:
for Mac OS 9: System Folder/DAE Folder/Plug-Ins
for Windows : C:\Program Files\Digidesign\DAE\Plug-Ins
Whether your system can, or cannot use HTDM plug-ins (see next section), the
installation is the same.
For Mac OS 9, you need to increase the memory allocated to DAE (see the Pro Tools
manual for the procedure) by around 15 megabytes.
8.3.2 RTAS and HTDM standards
The CS-80V can function with the Digidesign audio engine (DAE) in two manners:
As an RTAS plug-in (Real Time Audio Suite).
All Pro Tool systems are compatible with this standard: the sound treatment is done
completely by the central unit, and therefore does not require any specific extension
card (TDM type system). On the TDM systems, the RTAS plug-ins can only be loaded
on an audio track before the TDM plug-ins. They cannot be loaded to an Aux Input or
a Master Fader.
As a HTDM plug-in (Host Time Division Multiplexing).
Only TDM Systems (so with at least one extension card) for Mac OS 9 and X can use
these plug-ins (refer to Digidesign for HTDM compatibility with Windows which is to
come). The latter work exactly like TDM plug-ins (no limitations on insertion
positions, etc…), with the difference being that the treatment is primarily being done
by the central unit, and not by the extension cards.
Recap on the compatibility:
