Connecting Pro Tools | MTRX II to Pro Tools | HD Native
You can use up to 64 channels of analog and digital I/O with MTRX II connected to an HD Native card or HD Native Thunderbolt using
two DigiLink Mini cables (not included).
To connect MTRX II to an HD Native card or HD Native Thunderbolt:
1 Required: Connect the first MTRX II 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 II DigiLink Mini Port to DigiLink Mini Port 2 on the HD Native card or HD Native Thunder-
bolt 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 connected to a clock source to main-
tain proper synchronization among the devices. MTRX II provides Internal clock, and can also clock to Word Clock/video black burst
(VBB) using BNC connectors, Dante sync, or digital inputs. Use Internal if MTRX II 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).
