Pro Tools | MTRX Studio Installation Guide8
Connecting Pro Tools | MTRX to Pro Tools | HD Native
You can use up to 64 channels of analog and digital I/O with MTRX connected to an HD Native card or
HD Native Thunderbolt using two DigiLink Mini cables (not included).
To connect MTRX to an HD Native card or HD Native Thunderbolt:
1 Required: Connect the first MTRX DigiLink Mini Port to DigiLink Mini Port 1 on the HD Native card
or HD Native Thunderbolt using a DigiLink Mini cable (not included).
2 Optional: Connect the second MTRX DigiLink Mini Port to DigiLink Mini Port 2 on the HD Native
card or HD Native Thunderbolt using a second DigiLink Mini cable (not included).
Synchronization
If you are using two or more audio interfaces or a synchronization peripheral, each device must be con-
nected to a clock source to maintain proper synchronization among the devices. MTRX provides Internal
clock, and can also clock to Word Clock, AES/EBU, MADI, or Dante IP. Use Internal if MTRX is your
master clock. Use Word Clock with Pro Tools HD audio interfaces or a synchronization peripheral (such
as HD I/O or HD MADI, and Sync X or SYNC HD).
