Digidesign Pro Tools|HD 1 Core System - PCI Express Version

Digidesign is now offering two versions of its award-winning, professional Pro Tools|HD digital audio production systems. By continuing to provide the existing PCI version and releasing a PCI Express (PCIe) version, Digidesign is ensuring continued compatibility of its Pro Tools|HD systems with a wide range of PCI, PCI-X, and PCIe-equipped computers. Existing Pro Tools|HD core systems are designed to work in PCI and PCI-X slots only and are not compatible with PCIe technology.

Digidesign HD| 1 Core:
Pro Tools|HD 1 features the HD Core card, supporting up to 32* channels of I/O and guaranteed support for up to 96 simultaneous audio tracks with no stress on the computer. The HD Core card houses a host of powerful DSPs that provide the dedicated mixing and processing horsepower audio professionals have come to expect from Pro Tools. Expanding the system's dedicated processing power and I/O capacity is as easy as adding additional HD Accel cards.
