DESCRIPTION

The Avid Pro Tools HDX | PCIe Core Card is the real-time mixing and processing engine at the heart of a fully optimized Pro Tools hardware, Pro Tools | Ultimate software, and control surface system, delivering precision-timed mixing, routing, automation, and plug-in performance. Its hybrid capabilities accelerate the most demanding music and audio-post workflows, so you can handle massive music and post-production projects with ease.

Loaded with eighteen DSP cores and two high-performance FPGA chips, the PCIe Core Card supercharges your system without burdening your CPU. The FPGA routes audio with near-zero latency (0.7 ms) while the HDX DSPs handle plug-in processing at staggering speeds. So, you can mix the biggest sessions and record large performances with tons of plug-ins running in real time while your computer's CPU remains accessible for handling virtual instruments, more plug-ins, and other creative tasks.

The HDX PCIe card features two DigiLink ports and one DigiSerial Port, enabling you to connect Pro Tools hardware to your system. The uniquely designed DigiLink connector provides support for 64 channels of I/O and ensures the highest audio fidelity in and out of the HDX Engine. It also enables Pro Tools to automatically compensate for hardware insert delays. The DigiSerial Port is part of a proprietary technology, providing unmatched sample-accurate synchronization of video frame edges with audio when connected to Avid sync peripherals, like Sync X.
