Chapter 2: HD Native Hardware Overview
HD Native PCIe Card
The HD Native PCIe card supports up to 64
channels of I/O for direct-to-disk recording and
playback, and supports up to 24-bit and up to
192 kHz audio streams. Additionally, the on-
board FPGA provides dedicated processing
power for mixer configurations and low latency
monitoring with Pro Tools.
DigiLink Mini Ports
The HD Native PCIe card includes two DigiLink
Mini ports for connecting to Avid HD audio
interfaces. Each port provides up to 32 channels
of audio input and output for your audio
software.
DigiSerial Port
You can connect a SYNC peripheral to the
DigiSerial port on the HD Native PCIe card. This
connector is an 8-pin mini-DIN.
DigiLink Mini Cables
Use DigiLink Mini cables to connect HD I/O,
HD OMNI, and HD MADI audio interfaces to
your HD Native card. There are five different
lengths of DigiLink Mini cables:
• 18” (0.46m) (included with HD I/O,
HD OMNI, and HD MADI audio interfaces)
• 12’ (3.6m) (one included with the
HD Native card)
• 25’ (7.62m) (sold separately)
• 50’ (15.25m), the maximum length
supported for 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz
sessions (sold separately)
• 100’ (30.5m), the maximum length
supported by 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz sessions
(sold separately)
