Pro Tools | HDX Core
At Sweetwater, we're still amazed at how powerful these cards are. Each Pro Tools | HDX Core PCIe 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 AAX plug-ins, without worrying about running out of voices.
Features:
- Incredible DSP power for Avid's AAX plug-in format
- 3-7 times the power of an HD Accel system on a single PCIe card
- FPGA mix processor frees up DSP for powering plug-ins
- Up to 256 voiceable tracks per card
- Up to 64 channels of simultaneous I/O per card
- Connect up to 4 HD interfaces per card
- 64-bit floating-point summing sounds amazing
- 32-bit floating-point processing between plug-ins preserves quality and dramatically increases headroom
- Expand your system by adding more HDX cards
- Compatible with Pro Tools | Ultimate software
