192 I/O Guide16
Hardware Setup
The Hardware Setup dialog shows you a list of 
all audio interfaces in the system as well as I/O 
routing and clock selections for your HD I/Os. 
The Hardware Setup also allows you to set spe-
cial options unique to the 192 I/O.
Hardware Setup automatically configures itself 
to default settings for each HD-series card and 
peripheral it detects. The Hardware Setup dialog 
also lets you change default settings, and config-
ure expansion audio interfaces (including Leg-
acy peripherals). 
Configuring Hardware Setup 
(Audio Interfaces)
The Main tab of the Hardware Setup dialog is 
where you define what physical ports are routed 
to Pro Tools input and output channels. Think 
of this window as a patchbay that allows you to 
route any of the physical inputs or outputs to 
Pro Tools mixer inputs and outputs.
The Main tab also provides controls for session 
Sample Rate, synchronization settings, and to 
define whether Expansion port or Legacy port 
peripherals are active. Sample Rate can only be 
changed when there is no session open.
Additional tabs are available to configure other 
parameters on each audio interface (such as set-
ting operating levels).
You must select an HD I/O from the Peripherals 
column in order to change settings on a specific 
interface in expanded I/O system.
