Disk Caching lets you load your entire sessions into RAM, giving you instant response and incredible realtime editing capabilities. Pro Tools HD 10 also gives you advanced Mida Composer integration and network storage compatibility - must haves for post work. There's a ton to know about Avid Pro Tools HD 10, so be sure to call your Sales Engineer with any questions you may have.

Avid HDX DSP-acceleration gives you massive processing power
Each Avid HDX card is like having about the equivalent of an HD3 or HD4 system on a single card. To put it mildly, that's a ton of DSP power for your DAW! What's more, there's a separate FPGA processor for your mix bus, so all of your HDX card's DSP power is dedicated to running plug-ins. Each HDX card gives you 256 voices, a full four times the routing capacity of an Accel card. That means you can freely use Avid's new AAX plug-ins, without worrying about running out of voices.

Here's where it gets even cooler. HDX cards and AAX plug-ins are ready for a 64-bit world. Although Pro Tools HD is still in transition from 32-bit to 64-bit, you still get the advantages of onboard 64-bit architecture. For one thing, the HDX summing bus is true 64-bit, giving you amazing headroom to mix with. Speaking of headroom, Pro Tools|HDX also gives you 32-bit floating-point processing between plug-ins, increasing your mix bus's dynamic range to over 1,000dB. That makes clipping and dither buildup things of the past.

HD MADI I/O Avid HD series recording interface
The HD MADI I/O from Avid gives you 64 channels of MADI connectivity. Boasting bi-directional sample rate conversion, the HD MADI I/O makes sure your ICON or Pro Tools|HD rig can slide into any MADI environment, at any sample rate, and hit the ground running. Since you have 64 channels of MADI I/O available on all inputs and outputs, you'll find the HD MADI I/O to be a very useful addition to any Pro Tools|HD studio. And the inclusion of both coaxial and optical I/O makes the HD MADI I/O an easy fit.
